These comparison images was generated by Kasper Skårhøj, using:

 - TYPO3 3.8.0
 - Image Magick 5.5.7 / FreeType 2 / PHP4
 - This localconf.php configuration:

		// Graphical settings applying to Debian packages for TYPO3:
	$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['GFX']['im_path_lzw'] = '';
	$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['GFX']['TTFdpi'] = '96';
	$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['GFX']['gdlib_png'] = '1';
	$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['GFX']['im_combine_filename'] = 'composite';
	$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['GFX']['im_path'] = '/usr/bin/';

	$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['GFX']['gdlib_2'] = 1;
	$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['GFX']['im_mask_temp_ext_noloss'] = 'png';

- PHP / GD configuration:
	GD Support		enabled
	GD Version		2.0 or higher
	FreeType Support	enabled
	FreeType Linkage	with freetype
	T1Lib Support		enabled
	GIF Read Support	enabled
	GIF Create Support	enabled
	JPG Support		enabled
	PNG Support		enabled

- I was not able to create GIF files for reference so I just converted them directly with ImageMagick
- Also LZW compression has NOT been used anywhere except the GD test images since ImageMagick doesn't support it.
