title: PHP - imagettftext not working and GD installed
body: <p>It's being long hours that I'm still looking for answer to this problem..
  All the solutions I find are around catching the font name but I am pretty sure this isn't my problem.</p>
  
  <p><strong>It looks like GD is installed</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>array(11) {
    ["GD Version"]=&gt;
    string(27) "bundled (**2.0.34 compatible**)"
    ["FreeType Support"]=&gt;
    bool(false)
    ["T1Lib Support"]=&gt;

  <p>Above you can see my GD support.
  My PHP version is 5.3 and I'm running on Linux.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried few different code examples from different websites and none works.
  ImageString does work for me but I need to get <strong>imagettftext</strong> to work..</p>
  
  <p>This is the last code I have tried now-</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php
  ini_set('display_errors', 1);
  error_reporting(E_ALL);
  
  // Set the content-type
  header('Content-Type: image/png');
  
  // Create the image
  $im = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 100) or die("Can't create image!");
  
  // Create some colors
  $white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
  $grey = imagecolorallocate($im, 128, 128, 128);
  $black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
  imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 399, 29, $white);
  
  // The text to draw
  $text = 'Testing';
  // Replace path by your own font path
  $font = 'arial.ttf';
  
  // Add some shadow to the text
  imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 11, 21, $grey, 'arial.ttf', $text);
  
  // Add the text
  imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $black, 'arial.ttf', $text);
  
  // Using imagepng() results in clearer text compared with imagejpeg()
  imagepng($im);
  imagedestroy($im);
  ?&gt;
