[Typo3] Fatal error

[Efthimios Mavrogeorgiadis]

I have been reading the quickstart tutorial and testing my Typo3
installation over the past few days and I have to admit that I'm
impressed by the multitude of possibilities and options that it offers.

However, today I came across the following error message when I tried to
changed templates (business --> candidate):

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagettfbbox() in
/home2/espergr/public_html/qstrat/t3lib/class.t3lib_stdgraphic.php on
line 922

Then I noticed that the following appeared in Install Tool's GDLib section:

It looks like the FreeType library is not compiled into GDLib. This is
required when TYPO3 uses GDLib and you'll most likely get errors like
'ImageTTFBBox is not a function' or 'ImageTTFText is not a function'.

On the other hand, phpinfo shows:

imagettftext()      :

Does this mean that I have to recompile GDLib with FreeType support?
Maybe I should recompile apache to support truetype, too? Or is it
something else that caused this error message to appear?
