[RESOLVED] System Check GD > 2.x False Fail?

Per Matt’s Suggestion, Enabling FreeType Support [TTF] Resolved the issue.

System Check
/!\ There are some issues with your system. Piwik will run, but you might experience some minor problems. See below for more information.


GD > 2.x (graphics)	 GD > 2.x (graphics) 
The sparklines (small graphs) and image graphs (in Piwik Mobile app and Email reports) will not work.

Piwik is reporting that my server is not using GD 2.x or greater. However I created a GD_info file with the following code:


<?php
var_dump(gd_info());
?>

And the results are as follows:


array(11) { 
["GD Version"]=> string(26) "bundled (2.1.0 compatible)" 
["FreeType Support"]=> bool(false) 
["T1Lib Support"]=> bool(false) 
["GIF Read Support"]=> bool(true) 
["GIF Create Support"]=> bool(true) 
["JPEG Support"]=> bool(true) 
["PNG Support"]=> bool(true) 
["WBMP Support"]=> bool(true) 
["XPM Support"]=> bool(true) 
["XBM Support"]=> bool(true) 
["JIS-mapped Japanese Font Support"]=> bool(false) }

I was assuming that ‘[“GD Version”]=> string(26) “bundled (2.1.0 compatible)”’ was stating my version of GD would be sufficient. Please advise what I may be doing/looking at incorrectly?

You also need to setup PHP with FreeType Support

I clarified this in the UI in: Clarifying inline help that freetype is required too · matomo-org/matomo@60ab6b2 · GitHub
