Cannot enable Freetype for gd in php 8.1.5 docker container

Problem: Call to undefined function imagettfbbox. Output of function_exists('imagettfbbox') is false.

I’ve seen so many Dockerfiles now, and it seems not so difficult to enable Freetype with gd. However, although my Dockerfile builds without errors, Freetype is not enabled when I look at phpinfo…

What am I missing?

GD Support          enabled
GD Version          bundled (2.1.0 compatible)
GIF Read Support    enabled
GIF Create Support  enabled
PNG Support         enabled
libPNG Version      1.6.37
WBMP Support        enabled
XBM Support         enabled
BMP Support         enabled
TGA Read Support    enabled

Here’s my Dockerfile
