So much trouble that I’d even tried crazy things like recompiling PHP. Luckily I found this post on excitris.com and I was able to solve all of my problems with one line of code. Since the code on their site is completely mangled, here it is:

putenv('GDFONTPATH=' . realpath('.'));

Now I can use dynamic text replacement without going insane.
