TrueType font support with PHP 3.0.15 on RH 6.2 ?

[Doyon, Jean-Francois]

Dan,

Much thanks for the offer, but I've figured it out ...

I've managed to compile a version of PHP that suits my needs and
works with proper TTf support ...

I did however HAVE to specify --without-ttf ...

So I'm ok for now ... this does seem strange though, good thing I don't
need it :)

Thanks for the help,
J.F.
