Problems with Captcha - Image shows without text

[coolness]

Thanks for the great product! With the exception of this CAPTCHA problem, I'm having no problems with the script.

My Captcha image is showing without the Captcha text. Here's an example:

{old image removed}

I'm running FreeBSD
Apache/1.3.31 (Unix)
PHP/4.4.0
PHP LD RC5.2

Here are my GD Settings from php_info.

GD Support enabled
GD Version bundled (2.0.28 compatible)
FreeType Support enabled
FreeType Linkage with TTF library
GIF Read Support enabled
GIF Create Support enabled
JPG Support enabled
PNG Support enabled
WBMP Support enabled
XBM Support enabled


Does anyone have any ideas on this? Does anything about my config jump out as an obvious problem?

Thanks in advance!

It sounds like, for some reason, you might not have any captcha fonts installed.

ftp into your server directory and check inside libs/captcha/fonts/ and see if there are any font files in there. If not, you can snag a few here-
{old non working url removed}

If that isn't it one of the php geniuses, like Casey, will have to help you . . . so make sure to post back and let us know if that was the problem.

Thanks... I checked my fonts and have lots of them installed, but still having problems.

Coolness, I'm working on a new directory for which I'm using this newest release of the script, just installed it last night-- and I have the exact same problem! HEY, GUYS! WHY IS CAPTCHA BROKEN???

Add me to the list of those having problems with captcha.. I just get a red X where there should be something cool..

Certainly the captcha is one of the biggest complaints right now, and it will be a priority to offer an alternative that works on a greater variety of systems once we get the websnv back up and running.

As a "pro secundo": The ÅÄÖÜÉ issue. :D

[David]

The WebSVN is really the main issue. Once that is fixed, we will be able to continue with fixes more easily.
