I just checked it with

if ($img->font('C:\WINNT\aaaZemestrostd-bk.otf'))

{

    print "Done";

};

It returns prints "Done" even the file "C:\WINNT\aaaZemestrostd-bk.otf" dosen't exists. Also i checked with the documentation of GD::Simple, it says "The font to use when drawing text. Both built-in bitmapped fonts and TrueType fonts are supported". I am Not sure if built-in bitmapped fonts include OTF fonts (my knowldge in this subject is very limited)

It returns prints "Done" even the file "C:\WINNT\aaaZemestrostd-bk.otf" dosen't exists.

OK, so it appears that the module is broken -- if it doesn't return an error when a specified file is missing, that's an error.

The font you want to use may not be supported, as you suspect. See if you can get in touch with the authors to get this figured out, and good luck. :)
