### 4.7.2 Verifying that the TTF fonts work

In order to get TTF fonts working with JpGraph you should first check that the following pure GD scripts work correctly. Please adjust the font path according to your installation.

`DEFINE ("TTF_DIR","/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/" );
$im = imagecreatetruecolor (400, 100);
$black = imagecolorallocate ($im, 0, 0, 0 );
$white = imagecolorallocate ($im, 255, 255, 255 );
imagerectangle ($im,0, 0,399,99 ,$black);
imagefilledrectangle ($im,0, 0,399,99 ,$white);
imagettftext ($im, 30, 0, 10, 40 , $black, TTF_DIR. "arial.ttf", "Hello World!");
header ("Content-type: image/png" );
imagepng ($im);`

The above script assumes you have the GD2 library and will create an image with the classical "Hello World!" text printed in black.
