PHP - imagettftext doesn't display text
 

I can't get imagettf to display text at all. I'm getting really frustrated.

Configure Command => './configure' '--prefix=/usr' '--disable-static' '--with-ncurses' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--enable-discard-
path' '--with-config-file-path=/etc/apache' '--enable-safe-mode' '--with-openssl' '--enable-bcmath' '--with-bz2' '--with-pic' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-ctype' '--wit
h-gdbm' '--with-db3' '--enable-dbase' '--enable-ftp' '--with-iconv' '--with-gd' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-png' '--with-gmp' '--with-mysql=s
hared,/usr' '--with-xml=shared,/usr' '--with-gettext=shared,/usr' '--with-mm=/usr' '--enable-trans-sid' '--enable-shmop' '--enable-sockets' '--with-regex=php' '--enable-
sysvsem' '--enable-sysvshm' '--enable-yp' '--with-tsrm-pthreads' '--enable-shared' '--disable-debug' '--with-zlib=/usr' '--enable-cli' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/in
clude/freetype'

No errors show up in the error log.
