   Hello.

   Another one who cannot see Letters,but I can see curve.

   I'm using WP 2.8.5.and It's Japanese version.
   I've tried all the test you suggested,and No error is found.
   Also,I changed theme to Default,but still I could see only curve.
   Checked all permission,and It was ok,also,tried many kinds browser.

   If It works properly,this plugin is exactly what I was searching,
   I don't hope Japanese version,English version will be enough for us.

   Am I missing something in setting?(is there language setting somewhere?)
   Or "WP Japanese version"is causing trouble?

   Could you help me how can I use properly? Thanks in advance.

   Your server might not meet all the requirements for image text.
   Run the test: /wp-content/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/captcha-secureimage/test/index.php

   What is the URL to your blog?

   make sure elephant.ttf is in the captcha-secureimage directory.
   It could be unreadable, or perhaps corrupted.
   From the admin plugins menu, try plugin deactivate, then click delete. Install it again. See if that fixed it

   PHP 4.4.4 is really old. Perhaps it is the cause. You should upgrade for security reasons anyway.
   PHP 5.3 is current and more secure.

   Thank you for advice,
   I reinstalled plugin,but still I cannot see letters.

   (and I had to write I don't have any knowlidge about PHP and sometime cannot understand especially daily-use English.Sorry if I wrote something big-mouth.)

   I checked my server's manual(rental)and found I can use PHPver 5.2.8 using .htaccess file.(It's newest on this server)
   It takes time for me to avoid losing data,(maybe?)

   Also,I use too many plugin for fun.I'll reduce them.

   I'll report again after these task.

   Thank you!!

   It worked with PHP 5.2.8. it was easy,only upload .htaccess file which can download from my server's support.

   I appreciate quick and detailed advice.

   Hello, glad you got it working. The problem with some older PHP and GD version is that they cannot do transparent TTF text properly so nothing shows up.

   It can be resolved by turning off the transparent text option.

   anybody else having this problem ...
   Try this:
   edit plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/captcha-secureimage/securimage_show_medium.php

   change:
   $img->use_transparent_text = true;

   to:
   $img->use_transparent_text = false;

   let me know if it works.
   If this fixes it. I will try a fix that can auto detect if your PHP
   can do the transparent or not. I would need you to try it for me, so be sure to contact me.

    If you have this problem, try version 2.2.7 or higher and set the setting
    "Disable CAPTCHA transparent text".

    Note: If the CAPTCHA image is missing the text, go to the plugin settings and check the setting "Disable CAPTCHA transparent text". It will not fix it on the test page, but it might fix it on the wordpress forms.

    == Changelog ==

    = 2.2.7 =
    - (31 Dec 2009) - New setting for a few people why had problems with the text transparency "Disable CAPTCHA transparent text (only if captcha text is missing on the image, try this)".
