imagetfttext() Error

I am getting this error:

The image “http://tingram.ca/test.php” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

When I do the following:

[code]
<?php
Header("Content-type: image/png");

// Create image X by Y
$img = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 25);



//$blog_header = $entry['title'] . " [" . $entry['d'] ."]";
$blog_header = " This is a test ";

$white = imagecolorallocate($img, 255, 255, 255);
$gray = imagecolorallocate($img, 192, 192, 192);
$black = imagecolorallocate($img, 0, 0, 0);

// Create rectangle
imagefilledrectangle($img, 1, 1, 398, 23, $gray);

$font = "OptimusPrinceps.ttf";

// Image, Size, Angle, X, Y, Color, Font, Text
//imagettftext($img, 10, 0, 0, 0, $white, $font, $blog_header);
imagettftext($img, 8, 0, 4, 4, $white, $font, $blog_header);

ImagePng($img);
ImageDestroy($img);
?>
[/code]

And I am not sure why?  If I comment out the imagettftext() it works and I get a graybox with a black outline.

The OptimusPrinceps font is in the same directory as this script.  I use the font for another script else were so I am unsure what it is I am doing wrong.

Figured it out.

It seems that the GD needs to be told that it needs to look for the font in the current working directory of the script so changing:

[code=php:0] $font = "OptimusPrinceps.ttf"; [/code]

to

[code=php:0] $font = "./OptimusPrinceps.ttf"; [/code]

Fixed my issue :)
