In what scenarios would it be recommended to use TrueType fonts (.ttf) when working with text in images using PHP?

TrueType fonts (.ttf) are recommended when working with text in images using PHP if you want to ensure consistent rendering across different platforms and devices. These fonts are widely supported and provide high-quality typography for your images. To use TrueType fonts in PHP, you can specify the font file path in the `imagettftext()` function when adding text to your image.

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

// Add text to the image using TrueType font
imagettftext($image, $fontSize, $angle, $x, $y, $textColor, $fontFile, $text);
