imagettftext question

been playing around with the image functions and ran into a small wall..

while using imagecreatetruecolor i can use imagettftext fine with no errors, but if i add imagettftext i get

The image ?test.php? cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

what do you need to do to use imagettftext from the imagecreatefrompng?

Code:

<?php
header('Content-Type: image/png');
$im = @imagecreatefrompng("test.png");

$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
imageline($im, 40, 62, 117, 62, $black);

imagettftext($im, 8, 0, 40, 60, $black, $font, 'test..');
imagepng($im);
?>

from the manual

An image resource, returned by one of the image creation functions, such as imagecreatetruecolor().

looks like a kind of requirement, GD is very limited, use Imagemagick instead
