Description:
------------
after using imagettftext the font file handle is not closed which makes it 
impossible to rename/delete the font file without restarting Apache

$font = '../data/font/arruski.ttf';
$a = imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $white, $font, $text);

Using "Process Explorer" I was able to see that several font files are still open.

Test script:
---------------
	header('Content-Type: image/png');
	$im = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 30);

	$white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
	$text = 'Test';
	$font = '../data/font/arruski.ttf';
	$a = imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $white, $font, $text);
	$fp = fopen($font,'r');
	fclose($fp);
	imagepng($im);
	imagedestroy($im);


Expected result:
----------------
the font file would be released after script execution

Actual result:
--------------
the font file is not released.
"The action can't be completed because the file is open in httpd.exe"
Users cannot replace/rename/delete font file !

I was able to reproduce this bug. It's a hassle when trying to replace or move the ttf files around. The only solution so far is to restart the server.
    <?php
    if (isset($_GET['METHOD']) && $_GET['METHOD']=='captcha')
    {   session_start();
        $code=rand(1000,9999);
        $_SESSION["code"] = $code;
        session_write_close();
        $font = rand(1,4).".ttf";
        if ($font == "1.ttf")
            $font_size = 20;
        else if ($font == "2.ttf")
            $font_size = 25;
        else if ($font == "3.ttf")
            $font_size = 30;
        else if ($font == "4.ttf")
            $font_size = 35;
        $angle = 0;
        $width = 120;
        $height = 60;
        $bounding_box = imagettfbbox($font_size, $angle, $font, $code);
        $textwidth = abs($bounding_box[4] - $bounding_box[0]);
        $textheight = abs($bounding_box[5] - $bounding_box[1]);
        $x = ($width - $textwidth) / 2;
        $y = (($height*3/4) + $textheight) / 2;
        $image = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);
        $text_background = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0);
        $color = imagecolorallocate($image, 230, 230, 230);
        imagefill($image, 0, 0, $text_background);
        imageline($image, 0, $y-rand(0,10), $width, $y-rand(0,10), $color);
        imageline($image, 0, $y, $width, $y, $color);
        imageline($image, 0, $y+rand(0,10), $width, $y-rand(0,20), $color);
        imageline($image, $x+rand(0,$width/2), 0, $x+rand($width/2,$width), $height, $color);
        imageline($image, $x+rand(0,$width/2), $height, $x+rand($width/2,$width), 0, $color);
        for($i=0;$i<400;$i++)
        {   imagesetpixel($image,rand()%$width,rand()%$height,$color);
        }
        imagettftext($image, $font_size, $angle, $x, $y, $color, $font, $code);
        header("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate");
        header('Content-type: image/png');
        imagepng($image);
        imagedestroy($image);
        exit();
    }

I can reproduce this with PHP 5.4, but neither with 5.6 nor 7.0.
Can you confirm?

I confirm that it's no longer bugged in 5.5.12, 
I will guess it's also resolved in 5.6 & 7

Thanks for the confirmation. I'm closing this ticket. Please
re-open if it turns out that there are still issues with newer
PHP/GD versions.
