Also, make sure the GD lib is compiled into PHP (ask your provider). Then, AND THIS IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT, you need to have PC TTF fonts. If you are a Mac user and simply copied true type fronts from your Mac (because they do end in ttf also) then NOTHING will happen. You won't see squat. I'm a Mac OSX user, so I know.
So, I got this working as a Mac user on a Linux box within a few hours. I suspect that if no one else can, it's because JUST ONE of these factors not set properly will render a blank image.
So to recap:
1- apache must be owner of data directory (and chmod'd to 777 or 755)
2- safe mode OFF
3- GD lib MUST be installed, specifically, GD v2.0.1 with freetype linkage
4- PC TTF fonts. NOTHING ELSE
Again, if just one of these things is not set up properly, the images will never get annotated.
