    imagettftext failing in remote browsers?

    I'm not real sure how the drawing & image fxns work in php, so please
    bear with me...

    I'm using a script (logo.php) to draw a simple logo -- basically text
    with a shaded background. It looks great when I browse it at localhost
    (a Fedora Core 3 box), but if I use another machine (Gentoo) on the
    network, it says
    "The image ...logo.php cannot be displayed, because it contains errors"

    I can only get (part of) it to show by commenting out:
    $pos = imagettftext($i mage,30,0,$x,$y ,$shadow,$font, "NAME_OF_THE_SI TE");

    in all three places where it occurs. also involved are:
    define(FONT_PAT H,"/opt/lampp/htdocs/work/TND/misc/fonts/");
    and
    $font = FONT_PATH. "CopperplateGot hicBold.ttf";

    does that need to be installed (in that dir) on every machine that
    accesses the image?!?!

    more (unusual) info

    I have the site installed on a beta server and when I access that (from
    any machine), the *same image script displays fine.

    that is,
    www.______.org/.../.../logo.php
    looks great
    but
    192.168.2.3/.../.../logo.php
    has errors

    Only fails on my LAN. odd...

      Any chance of a firewall getting in the way thinking this is a popup?

        interesting thought. doesn't seem like it, since as I said I can access
        the "beta" server. am accessing it with firefox v 1.0.6...

        let me see if my friend can view it on the LAN...
