I was able to get the example working.  Make sure you have the path to the font current.  When I had it set to the wrong path, PHP throws a warning and then uses the default font.  If you have warnings disabled, you may not notice that.  Run error_reporting(E_ALL); before any other code to make sure you aren’t hiding any warnings that are getting thrown.

Hope this helps!

Ive also selected the font by downloading the program and converting it to .gdf, but it still displays all text normally... this doesnt seem to be working for me – ive inputted the code in a php and created a test html file.
