I tried that, did not make any difference. I even went further and placed copies of the fonts all over the place.
The default install has them in the captcha/fonts folder. I tried making an images folder and putting them in there.
I even copied them to the php folder outside of my site in the includes folder
still nothing...
if you need more info about my system it is running on.
I placed the phpinfo at this link..
http://www.budduke.com/test/phpinfo.htmThat is the site that I will be hopefully be moving over to your 4images, but I wanted to stop the spammers first. Was working on my own hack for captcha but yours looked better if I could get it to work. I have already shut down my guestbook because of spammers so I hope someone can get this working
PS: I am running this on a local computer at home and not an actual webserver if that helps any.
I used the phpdev package for the entire PHP/SQL/APACHE server install and it looked like it had GD library already in it. It at least worked when making thumbnails unless you think I need a different version of the GD library.
THanks for a great product and all your support.
