I think this might be why ImageTTFtext from the Image Functions does not work when using GD 2.0.0 or higher (php_gd2.dll). If you use php_gd.dll this function works but the GD library doesn't support true color support. If you want true color support you have to use php_gd2.dll but then this function doesnt work. Anyone experiencing the same problem? Could anyone recompile the php_gd2.dll with Freetype and see if this is the problem? Does anyone know if the same person who compiled php_gd.dll also compiled php_gd2.dll? I think the problem might be that whoever compiled the php_gd2.dll that ships with PHP forgot to compile FreeType library while compiling GD. This is only a guess because I heard someone say that ImageTTFtext works on unix machines which leads me to believe this is the problem. I would test it myself but I don't know how to compile the file :-(
