Hi,
is there any new information on this? I just upgraded a system to debian wheezy
and the new php version broke my complete site. It uses excessively all those
imageps* functions mentioned above.
I think it could take months to create workarounds because I have no idea of
those freetype functions. So any hints on converting the software would be
appreciated.
Best regards,
Frank
