Fonts

Hi,

I'm trying to use GD::SecurityImage but I'm having troble with getting fonts to work. If I set up the object as:

my $image = GD::SecurityImage->new( width => 400, height => 200, ptsize => 90, lines => 5, thickness => 1, font => '/my/path/to/fonts/StayPuft.ttf', #font => 'StayPuft.ttf', ); my $random_string = 'Blah'; $image->random($random_string); $image->create( qw/ ttf ec #000000 #66CC00 / );

I get the image with out any text on it. I have tried setting GD::Text->font_path() and using a relative path but nothing seems to work also I have check that Apache has permissions to read the font file.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
