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

[M. Brooks Clark-2]

I have installed php5 and php5-gd, and I'm now getting an error when I try to use the imagettftext() function:

Warning: imagettfbbox(): Could not find/open font in /Users/mbclark/Sites/wview/banner.php on line 32

Warning: imagettftext(): Could not find/open font in /Users/mbclark/Sites/wview/banner.php on line 35

I've set the fontfile location to '/Library/Fonts/Arial' and '/Library/Fonts/Arial.ttf', but neither of these variations seems to work. Is there another trick to specifying the fontfile?

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.

I don't think there should be any trick. Where is the font file  
actually located -- /Library/Fonts/Arial or /Library/Fonts/Arial.ttf?  
What OS version is this? Have you tried other fonts? If you can't get  
it to work, can you post a snippet of PHP code that reproduces the  
problem, that I could try on my system?

Thanks. Changing the /Library/Fonts directory and contents to group  
www did the trick.
