Package: php4-gd
Version: 4:4.3.10-16
Severity: normal

when using both, imagettfbbox and imagettftext, I get the following
text messages instead of the image:

Warning: imagettfbbox(): Could not find/open font in
/home/jose/public_html/gen3/lib/xygraph_inc.php on line 83

Warning: imagettftext(): Could not find/open font in
/home/jose/public_html/gen3/lib/xygraph_inc.php on line 88

I't seems that php4-gd search for fonts in the directory 
/usr/share/fonts/truetype
while the truetype fonts are installed in subdirectories:

Example:
  The package msttcorefonts install it's fonts in 
 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts 

 Other fonts appear in:
 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera
 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/openoffice
 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts
 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont
 /usr/share/fonts/truetype/thryomanes
 
Workaround:
 copy the fonts to the  /usr/share/fonts/truetype directory:

 	cd  /usr/share/fonts/truetype
 	cp  msttcorefonts/* .

 Yours, Jose

No, I don't think that README.Debian is the appropriate place to explain
basics of how Unix paths work.
