Description:
------------
I use PHPv5.0.3,Freetype v1.4, GD2 Library v2.0.28
I use imagettftext in my script with font file reside in the same directory, but it seems that it doens't work though i have tried to set 'GDFONTPATH' environtment variable. The result is always the same. The resulting image doesn't contain the text with specified TTF and no error occured.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
header("Content-type: image/png");
$im = imagecreate(400, 30);
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$grey = imagecolorallocate($im, 128, 128, 128);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
$text = 'Bleh...';
$font = 'COUR.ttf';
putenv( 'GDFONTPATH='.realpath('.') );
imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 11, 21, $grey, $font, $text);
imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $black, $font, $text);
imagejpeg()
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
The image should contain image with text written on it with specified TTF.

Actual result:
--------------
Image without the text with specified TTF.

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5-win32-latest.zip

AFAIK, this was fixed long time ago.

Please provide a link to your TTF font. But it works well here (using windows cour.ttf or any other valid ttf).

I have add the full path link to my ttf font file but it's still produce the same result.
 [2005-06-21 09:55 UTC] pajoye@php.net 
We need the TTF file, provide a link where we can dowload it.

I still have no idea what your result is, provide a link to the result image as well.

iirc, links could something like http://youdomainhere.com/cour.ttf or http://youdomainhere.com/result_img.png

This works fine for me:

<?php
header("Content-type: image/png");
$im = imagecreate(400, 30);
$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$grey = imagecolorallocate($im, 128, 128, 128);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
$text = 'Bleh...';
$font = 'cour.ttf';
putenv( 'GDFONTPATH='.realpath('.') );
imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 11, 21, $grey, $font, $text);
imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $black, $font, $text);
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>

Your font-filename is in lowercase, I hope you knew that.. :)
And I'm using the PHP's bundled GD, and freetype 2.1.9

Here come the bad news...
- I finally managed to ugrade my GD library (from 1.8.4 => 2.0.33) and compile it into php.
The good news is 
- It works. Resulting image contain text with specified TTF.

I'm sorry be4 n thxs

This is why you should *always* use the bundled GD library!

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Works here using your font.

You may have another problem in your script, tip of the day: E_ALL

Log: From doc bug 65614

This change makes the wording clearer for byref arguments being allowed a default value in the function signature.

Log: Changes the description for user.ini files to make them sound less like they use the same format as .htaccess. The last sentence of the paragraph draws the parallel with .htaccess files so isn't really necessary in the first.
