php5-gd: imagettftext -- can't find fonts

[Scott Haneda]

Have you checked the permissions on the files to be sure the www  
server can read them?  Set them to use and group of the www server,  
and for now, chmod 777 as a test.  If that works, restrict them back  
down to your liking for your setup.
