Description:
------------
Hi,

I've found a configure flag for the support of Postscript Type 1 fonts with t1lib
http://php.net/manual/en/image.installation.php

This library is no more maintained and has been removed from Ubuntu and Debian for security reasons:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=637488
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/t1lib/+bug/1352999
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=744881

I know that I just have to remove this flag when calling the configure script, but shouldn't you drop the support for this old technology?

as t1 fonts work out of the box with the freetype library we can get rid of it.

freetype being the default option already, I see no issue to drop it for 7.
