Description:
------------
I'm not too sure if this is a php bug or a libgd bug as I upgraded both at the same time.

This image on the site was generated under PHP-4.3.11, GD-1.8.4, and FreeType 2.0.3-7.  The file is a cached copy.
http://216.94.150.3/dynamic/header.php?text=Goals+and+Targets&color=EB6919
The font rendered to be more like Times New Roman (sans-serif) than Frutiger 55 Roman however.

The site is now running PHP-4.4.2, GD-2.0.33, and FreeType 2.1.10.   If you change the text being rendered, it consistently cuts off the last 2-3 pixels of text, although it now renders the font more correctly than before.

The server was compiled with the following config under Apache 1.3.33:
./configure  --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --enable-versioning --with-mysql --with-zlib
 --with-sablot --with-xml --with-mcrypt --with-gd --with-mcal --enable-track-vars --enable-xslt --
with-iconv-dir=/usr/local --with-xslt-sablot --enable-wddx --with-pspell --enable-gd-native-ttf --
with-png --with-jpeg --with-jpeg-dir=/usr --with-png-dir=/usr --with-ttf --with-freetype-dir=/usr 
--with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6/ --enable-wddx --with-pspell --with-mime-magic --without-pear --with-cur
l --enable-mbstring


Reproduce code:
---------------
The code being used to generate the code is located here:
http://www.alistapart.com/d/dynatext/heading.php.txt

No code below the $cache_folder definition has been modified.

For some reason our code file is called header.php rather than heading.php.

You configure php using "--with-gd", that means you use the bundled library. If something else is shown, you have mixed your system headers while building. Please verify your setup.

Also we need a short script with only the GD functions and a link to the TTF font you use, no function, html, etc..

Hmm... the add comment section loses your comment if you have the same email address as the poster.  That's nice. :P

Anyways, I wasn't aware there was a bundled gd library in PHP now. I haven't been to the main http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php page in a long time and hadn't noticed the note about it.  The --with-gd option has been used as long as I've compiled it and it's always worked.  Specifying where libgd was with --with-gd=/usr fixed the chopped off text problem.

You can bogify this bug report.
