imagettfbbox(): Invalid font filename

<?php
$size = 12;//font height
$font = 'Arial';// your font
$char = 'Test';
$char = 'With W';
$char = 'without w but with p and y and q';

    $rect = imagettfbbox($size, 0, $font, $char);

    $image_height =abs( $rect[7] );//do no respect bottom margin
    $imw = $rect[2] - $rect[0]; //as usual
    $bx = abs( $rect[ 0 ] ); // X offset 
    $by = $size * 1.25; // Y offset - we will use const LINEHEIGHT
?>

Can you help me with this error?

It worked for me when using:

$font = './arial.ttf';

after I copied the arial file from "(C:/Windows/)fonts" to the directoty in which the php file resides.

The font argument should be a .ttf file, not a font name. You can find a lot of resources for fonts with a quick google search.

Beware of path. If you use pChart the examples work, but your file doesn't work because the path of font files.

Therefore you must replace ../ with blank.

Example: ../fonts/Forgotte.ttf with fonts/Forgotte.ttf. For me it works
