This function requires both the GD library and the FreeType library, are you
sure the second is present?
It could be a case of not being able to find the font file. What happens if
you:
imagettftext($image, 6, 0, 0, $initial_point, $colorRed,
'/path/to/Verdana.ttf', $initial_value);
Unfortunately, I have no experience with different operating systems, others
may be able to elighten you on that subject.
