Description:
------------
First off, I'm not sure what verison of PHP our servers use.  My hosting service is IpowerWeb.com

When I use imagettftext to write onto an image, it works fine, unless I allocate the color of 0,0,0.  Even 1,1,1 works just fine.

When I write to a complete black background the text shows up as rectangles, not the actual letters.  The rectangles look like bounding boxes because they take the size of the actual letter its trying to print.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
	$im_header = imagecreatetruecolor( 440, 83);
	$white = imagecolorallocate($im_header, 255, 255, 255);
	$black = imagecolorallocate($im_header, 0, 0, 0);
	imagefill($im_header,0,0,$black);
	imagecolortransparent($im_header, $black);
	
	imagettftext($im_header, 32, 0, 0, 42, $white, "fonts/verdana.TTF", "test");
	
	imagejpeg($im_header);
?>

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

Hello,

The bug was due to imagefill, it did not set back the alphablending to true. This is somehow required for font rendering with antialiasing.

Btw, with true color images you do not need to fill the background with black, the default is black (0).

a temporary fix is to call imagealphablending(true); after imagefill.

Bug is fixed in cvs.

Thanks for this report,

Log: This is due to the removal of Logo GUIDs, instead a new substitute (data URIs and direct embedding of the credits) is used, which means that expose_php has no effect.
