Hi,
At work we are having problem with the gd extension. Rendering of
truetype fonts in truecolor mode does not work: it gives weird colors
or no output at all.
Configuring php5-gd to use freetype2 from X11 instead of freetype1
solves our problems.
I know nothing of ports, my fix is probably subject to much needed
improvement (especially wrt dependencies), please have a look.
Below a little program to reproduce the problem (run php image.php >
image.png) and my diff.

<?php
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(500, 230);
$width = imagesx($im);
$height = imagesy($im);
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, $width, $height, $white);
imagestring($im, 5, 20, 20, 'imagestring', $black);
imagettftext($im, 40, 0, 20, 90, $black,
'/usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/mscorefonts/verdana.ttf',
'imagettftext');
imagepng($im);
?>
