The current version of php.eclass doesn't include the new(-ish) --enable-gd-native-ttf configure switch. Without this, PHP's gdImageStringTTF function(s) aren't compiled. If USE="truetype|ttf", then it probably should be included...

Fixed - if you have both gd and truetype in USE, --enable-gd-native-ttf will be used.
