Hi.
If you are going to be doing text stuff with gd- you definately want
FreeType.
You want t1lib as well.
I'm not positive, but I think your gd library needs to be compiled against
FreeType.
Here is the part of my configure script for gd-
--with-gd=/usr/local \
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local \
--with-png-dir=/usr/local \
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local \
--with-t1lib=/usr/local \
my gd library is compiled against libpng, libjpeg, and freetype.
It is not compiled against t1lib but adding t1lib in the configure script
gives me t1lib in my php gd.
