scaling and all other image manipulation do work correctly even in safe  
mode ... iirc (i'm not sitting on the box in question right now), i  
symlinked the imagemagick executables (convert, composite et al.) from a  
safe_mode_exec_dir-directory. that worked, albeit i still had to chown the  
executables to www-data:www-data (not sure if this was a good idea ...)
i suppose that the font-related stuff is done by libfreetype, which gets  
called from libgd to the best of my knowledge. i already put both libs  
into the exec_dir, but of course that didn't work. is there any option in  
php to load a specific lib from a certain directory explicitly?

many thanks & with kind regards,
thoralf.
