Laravel Vapor Solution: Undefined Function imagettfbbox()

[jtomek]

Situation

I'm switching to Laravel Vapor.

Complication

Fresh "vapor deploy" is causing the following error

"Call to undefined function Intervention\Image\Gd\imagettfbbox()"

A solution is not readily available online.

Cause:

The error is complaining about the location of your Fonts in your Lambda.

Solution:

You can specify a custom fonts location like this:

(new Avatar(['fonts' => [resource_path('fonts/yourfont.ttf')]]))

Maybe this will help somebody solve the problem faster.
