Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/opensolutions/ViMbAdmin/issues/272

The Reset Password Page doesn't shows a Captcha.

Warning: imageftbbox(): Could not find/open font in /lynn/vimbadmin/pub/vendor/shardj/zf1-future/library/Zend/Captcha/Image.php on line 507

Warning: imagefttext(): Could not find/open font in /lynn/vimbadmin/pub/vendor/shardj/zf1-future/library/Zend/Captcha/Image.php on line 510

I fixed it by adding a directory and the font to /lynn/vimbadmin/pub/data/font/freeserif.ttf

I also had to change the path in library/OSS/Captcha/Image.php:

if( strpos( dirname( FILE ), 'src/' ) === false )
$font = dirname( FILE ) . '/../../../data/font/freeserif.ttf';
else
$font = dirname( FILE ) . '/../../../data/font/freeserif.ttf';

I had the same problem with pretty much the same fix, I put the font file where it was looking for it though so didn't need to change any code

My workaround on fresh Ubuntu 20.04 server:

$ sudo apt install fonts-freefont-ttf
$ sudo -u www-data mkdir -p library/data/font
$ sudo -u www-data  ln -s /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont/FreeSerif.ttf library/data/font/freeserif.ttf

If you use PHP open_basedir restrictions, make sure /usr/share/fonts/ is included.
