On October 6th, 2009, our System Administrators updated PHP on Linux Hosting Servers to allow for FreeType library support in the GD module.

Previously, our GD module lacked the FreeType Library support. The GD module contains a number of image manipulation methods and adds support for different image formats. Based on customer requests, our System Administrators have compiled the GD module with FreeType support. The FreeType library allows for improved captcha or other human verification systems that use images to be used in website development.

To make use of FreeType, you will want to enable the GD Module from within your HostPilot. Navigate to “Web/FTP Server > Apache Server > Add-Ons > PHP > Configuration” within your HostPilot to enable and disable PHP Modules for your account.
