The code is:

code:

---

<?php
  //header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
  $im = imagecreate(400, 30);
  $white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
  $black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);

  // Replace path by your own font path
  imagettftext($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $black, "./fonts/decotype.ttf",
  "Testing... Omega: &amp;#937;");
  imagejpeg($im, 'test.png');
  imagedestroy($im);
?>
<img src=test.png border=1>

(I tried /fonts/decotype.ttf aswell, as stated in the php doc-page you told me)

I just noticed your config sets the fonts path as /usr/include/freetype2 - maybe try adding that before the path?  Font files relative to the file you're running should work just as well though

This doesn't show anything either...

It's unlikely that it works... I don't have privileges to the user-root.
I mean there, which are the fonts installed by default in there by freetype? (I think I read somewhere some fonts were included)

when fontfile does not begin with a leading '/', '.ttf' will be appended to the filename and the library will attempt to search for that filename along a library-defined font path.

That tells me this:

For custom fonts relative to the current dir, have a '/' as the first character (get rid of that dot). Otherwise (if you want to use a default font), no slash.

I'm not sure, it might be somewhere on their website at http://www.freetype.org/

Hmm, try uploading my IP sig as a test, to see whether it's a problem on your server or with the font you're trying to use

to make it relative to the current point, if ur server is running linux, use ~/path.

thats because of the filesystem linux uses, where the top directory is /, and everything is below thatt (its kinda complicated...)
