Basically it looks for the imagefttext() function before it gives the option to use GD2 for CAPTCHA. Is PHP compiled with freetype support? You can see some notes on the function at the link I gave.

It could be this portion: FreeType Linkage with TTF library as that appears to be using the Truetype font library and not the freetype library. I'm not sure if that makes the function unavailable to php or not.

To verify if the function exists, you can make a quick php script:

PHP Code


<?php

if (function_exists(imagefttext)) {
   echo "Found imagefttext()";
} else {
   echo "Could not find imagefttext()";
} // end if

?>
