Not sure, becouse it looks right, but what about the forward slash?

I take it this is a windows install? try: $font =
"f:\\swd\\font\ \arial.ttf";

I hate that bug. I got mine to work on Windows and Linux by only giving it
the font name (it adds .ttf by itself) and by using realpath().

Create a folder called "font" where your script is, and put your font there.

<?

$fontpath = realpath('./font/');
putenv('GDFONTP ATH='.$fontpath );
$font = "arial";
$im = imagecreate (250, 28);
$black = ImageColorAlloc ate ($im, 0, 0, 0);
$yellow = ImageColorAlloc ate ($im, 235, 235, 51);
ImageTTFText ($im, 20, 0, 10, 20, $yellow, $font, "comming text or not?");
ImagePNG($im,te st.png);
?>

I hope this works for you...
