How can PHP compilation affect the functionality of imagettfbbox with normal TTF fonts?

PHP compilation with certain configurations can affect the functionality of imagettfbbox with normal TTF fonts by causing incorrect font metrics to be returned. To solve this issue, you can specify the path to the TTF font file using the full server path rather than a relative path.

$font = '/full/server/path/to/font.ttf';
$text = 'Sample text';
$font_size = 12;

$bbox = imagettfbbox($font_size, 0, $font, $text);

// Use the returned bounding box values as needed
