Re: [PHP] How to use gd/php with no freetype?
Yes, you are out of luck without Freetype. You need to install Freetype, then build GD against that and then finally build PHP against that Freetype-enabled GD. As for your second question, the ImageTTFText() function takes the TTF font filename as an argument.

And if somehow I get freetype installed does php allow the method to name the font such as Arial and if so, which file do I edit so by default I can specify the font so the text written to the image looks as I intended?
