Hello and thanks for your time. 

 After endless searching, I am still lost

let's just assume I can't install freetype, and it looks like that for 
matters I won't get into. (linux, raq 3) 

What solution would allow me to specify fonts for text written into images? 
Instead of using the default font, imagine I want to use "helvetica". Am I 
out of luck without freetype? And if somehow I get freetype installed does 
php allow the method to name the font such as "Arial" and if so, which file 
do I edit so by default I can specify the font so the text written to the 
image looks as I intended? Thanks. I searched and couldn't find answer to 
both q's, esp. the first. 

Joel
