Hi all with ref to the banner.php file, it all works fine but was going to try an enable the ttf fonts... the 'checkserver.php' files says...
Does PHP work?
Yes, it does. Your server has PHP Version 5.2.8
Current GD status:

GD support: YES
GD Version: bundled (2.0.34 compatible)
FreeType Support: yes
FreeType Linkage: with freetype
T1Lib Support: no
GIF Read Support: yes
GIF Create Support: yes
JPG Support: yes
PNG Support: yes
WBMP Support: yes
XPM Support: yes
XBM Support: yes
JIS-mapped Japanese Font Support: no

So I thought where is the path for it so contacted my host who replied with...
"TrueType is a windows format of fonts and as such, the server doesn't use it anywhere. What you'll want to do is make a fonts directory in your web structure and upload any fonts that you want to use for this purpose.

The other option would be to install the full graphics packages on the server, which would only degrade performance for the rest of the users since there's no reason for it to be installed (and no use, since it's not hooked up to any sort of monitor)



Any idea where toget them from please?

Why dont you just do what they said...
What you'll want to do is make a fonts directory in your web structure and upload any fonts that you want to use for this purpose.

It surely work!

You make fonts dir in ur homedir, checkserver.php has the path of you homedir.
Use that in the banner.php and everything will work :S
