I'm trying to generate images with this library, i've followed the example here, but when i run the script i got these errors on my error.log file:

[09-Aug-2015 14:40:54 UTC] PHP Warning:  imagettfbbox(): Could not find/open font in /home/user/public_html/my_website/vendor/nmcteam/image-with-text/src/NMC/ImageWithText/Text.php on line 166

this is my website structure:

-public_html
    -my_website
        -vendor
            -autoload.php
            -nmcteam
                -image-with-text
                    -NMC
                        -ImageWithText
                            -Text.php
            -intervention
                -src
                    -Intervention
                        -Image
                            -Image.php
            -
        -php
            -img_creator.php
            -font.ttf
            -source.png

and this is my script(img_creator.php):

<?php
// Enable Composer autoloading
require '../vendor/autoload.php';

// Create image
$image = new \NMC\ImageWithText\Image('source.jpg');

// Add text to image
$text1 = new \NMC\ImageWithText\Text('Thanks for using our image text PHP library!', 3, 25);
$text1->align = 'left';
$text1->color = 'FFFFFF';

$text1->font = "font.ttf";
$text1->lineHeight = 36;
$text1->size = 24;
$text1->startX = 40;
$text1->startY = 40;
$image->addText($text1);

// Add more text to image
$text2 = new \NMC\ImageWithText\Text('No, really, thanks!', 1, 30);
$text2->align = 'left';
$text2->color = '000000';
$text2->font = 'fonts/Ubuntu-Medium.ttf';
$text2->lineHeight = 20;
$text2->size = 14;
$text2->startX = 40;
$text2->startY = 140;
$image->addText($text2);

// Render image
$image->render('destination.jpg');

i've searched a lot but i cant find a solution.

this does not works for me. i've tried to move font in the library folder but neither this solution works.

Try to use an absolute path when setting your font, like so:

$text1->font = dirname(__FILE__) . '/path/to/font/Ubuntu-Medium.ttf';

or if you're on PHP 5.3+

$text1->font = __DIR__ . '/path/to/font/Ubuntu-Medium.ttf';

In your example, the path should be:

$text1->font = __DIR__ . '/font.ttf';
