How can errors in reading TrueType fonts be resolved when using the GD Lib in PHP?

Errors in reading TrueType fonts when using the GD Lib in PHP can be resolved by ensuring that the correct path to the font file is provided. Additionally, confirming that the font file is accessible and readable by the PHP script can help resolve any font reading errors. 

// Specify the path to the TrueType font file
$fontFile = '/path/to/font.ttf';

// Check if the font file is accessible
if (is_readable($fontFile)) {
    // GD code to use the TrueType font
    $image = imagecreatefrompng('image.png');
    $black = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 0, 0);
    imagettftext($image, 20, 0, 10, 50, $black, $fontFile, 'Hello World');
    
    // Output the image
    header('Content-Type: image/png');
    imagepng($image);
    imagedestroy($image);
} else {
    echo 'Font file is not readable.';
}
