Hi

* PROBLEM IDENITIFIED !!! **

In: /typo3/sysext/install/mod/class.tx_install.php

This :

$test = @imagettftext($im, t3lib_div::freetypeDpiComp(20), 0, 10, 20,
$text_color, PATH_t3lib."/fonts/vera.ttf", 'Testing Truetype
support');

create infinite loop for install tool.

I have commented this function and it works.

I have updated gd-2.0.33 on Wed Aug 08 2007 for SECURITY fix.

Is this general problem?
