How can the error "Could not find/open font" in imagettftext be resolved when using PHP for image generation?

The error "Could not find/open font" in imagettftext occurs when the specified font file path is incorrect or the font file is not accessible. To resolve this issue, ensure that the correct font file path is provided and that the file has the necessary permissions for the PHP script to access it. 

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

// Check if the font file exists and is readable
if (file_exists($fontFile) && is_readable($fontFile)) {
    // Add the font file path to the imagettftext function
    imagettftext($image, $fontSize, $angle, $x, $y, $textColor, $fontFile, $text);
} else {
    // Handle the error if the font file is not found or cannot be opened
    echo 'Error: Could not find/open font file';
}
