# Freetype extension.

 * I seem to be getting the same “undefined function” error as found in this thread:
   
   [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-donation-thermometer-undefined-function-error?replies=2](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-donation-thermometer-undefined-function-error?replies=2)
 * However, in my case the server DOES have GD Lib support but no “Freetype support”
   which Donation Thermometer now seems to now require. Is there a way to get Donation
   Thermometer working without that Freetype extension or is it possible to have
   it work either way like before? It isn’t possible for me to install it on this
   server unfortunately.
 * Also, older versions of donation thermometer used to work just fine whereas the
   latest version produces the error.

 * Could you provide the error message please, or an example page where it’s triggered,
   and will look into it. Is it the same line and function giving the error?

 * The imagettfbbox() and imagettftext() functions look like they do require the
   Freetype library as well, so maybe things have been changed on your server recently?

 * These functions have been there since the beginning, so if previous versions 
   of the plugin do still happen to work for you, then I would be interested to 
   pinpoint the reason why. They can be downloaded from the developers tab on the
   wordpress plugin page.

 * I will have a look into using imagestring() as an alternative for the next update.
