This bug has been fixed in SVN.

If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net
by the end of next Sunday (CET).

If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should
be live shortly.

Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release.

Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better.

This error is caused by a corrupt or invalid font file.

I reported the incorrectly described error to php:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52403

I believe what this script should do is test the font file to ensure it
is valid before it attempts to run.

I will include a patch.

I also found that if I comment out the font_file line in the options I
get the following error:

"Fontfile not found or not readable."

Is a font a requirement? Can't it fall back on the default system font?

Description:
------------
I'm trying out the supplied example.php (from SVN) and I'm getting this
error:

Warning: imagettfbbox() [function.imagettfbbox]: Could not read font in
/usr/share/pear/Image/Text.php on line 832

Warning: imagettfbbox() [function.imagettfbbox]: Could not read font in
/usr/share/pear/Image/Text.php on line 794

It's repeated many times, which seems to be because of bad error
checking to ensure the font file is readable at the start.

Although I understand that the error is because it can't read the font,
but if this is the case, why is the "Fontfile not found or not
readable." not being displayed in this case?

Test script:
---------------
example.php from the svn

Expected result:
----------------
Display the example image(s).

Actual result:
--------------
Too much to display here...
