Hi,

Can somebody explain, in terms that a relative idiot (i.e. me) can understand, how to install Freetype? At the moment I am running phpdev423 and can't use the ImageTTFText function. I have got as far as downloading a zip file from sourceforge, but I can't work out what to do with it. Any ideas?

inside the zip file there should be some documentation in a help or text file.

is there? normally there is and it says where to copy it to.

There are some instructions for compiling the source code (I'm not a C programmer so this is foreign to me) and a lot of text files relating to the GNU licence.

I've also got hold of an executable that claims to install it automatically, but there must be more to the process as it doesn't appear to have changed anything. I guess there must be something I have to do to my PHP configuration to join it all up?
