Bonjour Jean-Francois,

I have php_mapscript.so displaying FreeType fonts on my RedHat 6.2
system.  However I am not using the PHP that came with RH6.2... I had to
recompile my own because I needed the DBase module linked in.

And following your message I tried switching back to the original PHP
that came with RH6.2 and my application started crashing like yours as
soon as it tries to display TT Fonts.

A quick compare of the 2 phpinfo() outputs tells me that the PHP that
came with RH included FreeType support but my new one didn't.  that
could explain the bug.

I can give you a copy of my new libphp3.so if you want... it should
solve your problem for now, until I have time to look into the real
source of the bug.

Later,
