PHP Imagettftext and php Configuration

Trying to use a PHP script with Imagettftext, this works fine on my windows setup at home. However, this fails to work on my host. I thought i found the answer elsewhere and contacted the host asking them to fix it, very quickly they did exactly as i asked but it still fails to work. Script produces no errors, other image generation works except the text generation.

Thinking it maybe something to do with the configuration
Code: 
PHP Version 4.3.10 
System  Linux 2.4.21-27.0.1.ELsmp #1 
Configure Command  './configure' 
'--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs' '--with-gd' 
'--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-png' '--with-ttf' '--with-jpeg' 
'--with-freetype' '--with-xpm' '--with-xml' '--enable-bcmath' 
'--enable-calendar' '--with-curl' '--enable-ftp' '--with-gd' 
'--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local' '--with-png-dir=/usr' 
'--with-xpm-dir=/usr/X11R6' '--with-imap' '--with-imap-ssl' 
'--with-kerberos' '--with-mcrypt' '--enable-magic-quotes' 
'--with-mysql' '--enable-discard-path' '--with-pear' '--enable-sockets'
 '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-versioning' '--with-zlib'  


gd
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
From what i’ve read elsewhere i think the problem is related the order of the config commands or the “GD FreeType Linkage with TTF library”


Anyone know for certain what the problem is so i can pass this on to my host.

Many Thanks
