Floyd:

Yes, that is odd -- try this:

Header ("Content-type: image/gif");
$im = imagecreate (400, 400);
$background = imagecolorallocate ($im, 238, 238, 238);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate ($im, 00, 51, 102);
imagettftext ($im, 10, 90, 200, 200, $text_color, "arial.ttf", "Hello 
World...");
imagegif ($im);
imagedestroy ($im);

You must use arial.ttf for the above -- in fact, that might be your 
problem, the font you are using may be that way.

Here's an example of this working:
