Are there alternative font types that can be used with GDlib in PHP, aside from TTF fonts?

GDlib in PHP primarily supports TTF (TrueType) fonts for text rendering. However, there are alternative font types such as Type 1 fonts that can be converted to TTF format using tools like FontForge. Once converted, these fonts can be used with GDlib in PHP for text rendering. 

// Example of using a Type 1 font converted to TTF with GDlib in PHP
$fontFile = 'converted_font.ttf';

// Load the font
$font = imageloadfont($fontFile);

// Set the font for text rendering
imagettftext($image, $size, $angle, $x, $y, $color, $font, $text);
