Steve,
I've never used fonts with GD before, but on the surface, this looks to
be a path issue. Assuming that "Macintosh HD" is the volume you boot up
OS X from, try changing the first line to:
putenv('GDFONTPATH=/Fonts/');

because what you see as "Macintosh HD" is actually / to the UNIX layer
of the OS.

Hope this helps!
