ImageTTFText can't find/open ttf fonts

[bof]

I'm attempting to use ImageTTFText to render text to an image, I can get
it to work if I

a) specify the full font path
b) switch off anti-aliasing
c) specify an OpenType font (e.g. arial.ttf)

If I specify a TrueType font (e.g. futura.ttf) I get an error message
"Warning: imagettftext(): Could not find/open font in c:\filepath"

phpinfo() reports:
PHP Version 4.3.4
GD Version bundled (2.0.15 compatible)

also running under apache built from 2.0.47 under Win XP
In summary: I can get OpenType fonts to render, any advice on how to get
TrueType fonts working?

Finally resolved this by using the DOS path name to the font and all now
appears OK; it must have just been chance that the fonts I chose to test
on that worked happened to have a path name that was the same in Windows
and DOS
