I have just installed the frontendusers module and want to insert the login form, but I get this error?

No Truetypefont available for the CaptchaClass.

Any idea why it does this???

May have to change the Captcha and 5 folders in Captcha permissions, try 755...

Maybe its a bug. I faced the same problem. The following worked:

Edit the file 'class.captchalib_hncaptcha.php' in '/modules/Captcha/lib/classes/captchalibs'. (I assume u use hncaptcha)

Find the line 84 where it says

Code:

'TTF_folder'     => $this->getFontPath() . '/',

I changed this to the absolute path of the fonts directory, for example it looks like this now:

Code:

'TTF_folder'     => '/usr/local/www/htdocs/modules/Captcha/fonts',

After saving it works for me.

actually this is related to a path issue. However it is most likely due to moving something after captcha was installed. If you uninstall and reinstall captcha it works fine since it dynamically finds the new directory it belongs to.

If you are unable to get image Captchas working, you could try the new Math Captcha library I added to the Captcha module:
http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1988&group_id=191&atid=819

It's based of code from here: http://www.httpseo.com/php/111-php-captcha-script-without-gd-using-text.html

Add it to the modules/Captcha/lib/classes/captchalibs folder and it should automatically show up as a "Captcha Library" option at: /admin/moduleinterface.php?module=Captcha

I had to switch to this since my web host doesn't have FreeType support enabled in PHP's GD functions.

Just wanted to post this here in it helps someone.

It works very simple:
1. An image is generated using:
-image background
-text (true tipe)

2. Place where is generate is: /tmp/cache/
It means this folder should have 777 permission rights

3) True tip fonts should be in a specific path
Usual in /modules/Captcha/fonts

If you install from "module manager" Captcha module it will work perfect.
If you upload the module with ftp and install from "module" section, consider of folder permissions.
 
If you move your website you may have problems.
The simple way to solve is access database and change as following:

table: siteprefs
field: Captcha_mapi_pref_font_path
Write the new absolute path to Captcah fonts.
Save and all wil be just fine.

I ran into this problem as well, it turns out that becuase I had installed and configured my site on my development box, the site_prefs entry for the Captcha module were incorrect.  I edited this and all was good.
