I ran the PHP Easy installer for windows and get this error on my win2k system.  The behavior exists on NT4 as well.  It seems to run OK on Linux though.

MY CODE-----------

<?
  
   Header( "Content-type: image/png");
    $s=40;
    $size = imagettfbbox($s,0, "Adventure.ttf",$text);
    $dx = abs($size[2]-$size[0]);
    $dy = abs($size[5]-$size[3]);
    $xpad=9;
    $ypad=9;
     $im = imagecreate(400,400);
    $blue = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0x2c,0x6D,0xAF);
    $black = ImageColorAllocate($im, 0,0,0);
    $white = ImageColorAllocate($im, 176,0,0);
    $font= "Adventure.ttf";
    ImageTTFText($im, $s, 0, (int)($xpad/2)+22, (int)($ypad/2)-8, $black, $font, $text);
    ImageTTFText($im, $s, 0, (int)($xpad/2)+10, (int)($ypad/2)+9, $white, $font, $text);
    Imagepng($im);
 ImageDestroy($im);

And this should be fixed (again) in CVS now.

There it is again...

I'm using mod_php4.1.2 on SuSE Linux with freetype2 and a patched version of gd 2.0.1b to allow gif support.

I, expieriencing the same problem. If the $font-parameter of the ImageTTFText is a relative path, I get the error message "Could not find/open font". It used to work fine with the old version of gd. So this might be an gd issue...

Anyway, a work-around is quite simple: Just do a realpath($font) and it will work (at least it does for me).
