Can you test this version of your code:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

// Error reporting
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
ini_set('display_startup_errors', '1');
error_reporting(E_ALL);

/**
 * Check if GD and FreeType are available
 *
 * @return void
 * @throws RuntimeException if GD or FreeType are not available
 */
function checkRequirements(): void
{
    if (!extension_loaded('gd') || !function_exists('gd_info')) {
        throw new RuntimeException("GD library is not enabled.");
    }

    $gdInfo = gd_info();
    if (!isset($gdInfo['FreeType Support']) || !$gdInfo['FreeType Support']) {
        throw new RuntimeException("FreeType support is not enabled.");
    }
}

/**
 * Generate an image with text
 *
 * @param string $text
 * @param string $fontPath
 * @return GdImage
 * @throws RuntimeException if image creation fails
 */
function generateImage(string $text, string $fontPath): GdImage
{
    if (!file_exists($fontPath) || !is_readable($fontPath)) {
        throw new RuntimeException("Font file not found or not readable: $fontPath");
    }

    $width = 400;
    $height = 200;
    $im = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height);

    if ($im === false) {
        throw new RuntimeException("Failed to create image");
    }

    $white = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
    $red = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 0, 0);

    imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, $width - 1, $height - 1, $white);

    // Calculate text position to center it
    $fontSize = 20;
    $bbox = imagettfbbox($fontSize, 0, $fontPath, $text);
    $x = ceil(($width - $bbox[2]) / 2);
    $y = ceil(($height - $bbox[5]) / 2);

    imagettftext($im, $fontSize, 0, $x, $y, $red, $fontPath, $text);

    return $im;
}

try {
    checkRequirements();

    $fontPath = __DIR__ . '/calibrib.ttf';
    $text = 'Testing...';

    $image = generateImage($text, $fontPath);

    header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
    imagejpeg($image);
} catch (Exception $e) {
    header("HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error");
    echo "An error occurred: " . $e->getMessage();
} finally {
    if (isset($image) && $image instanceof GdImage) {
        imagedestroy($image);
    }
}

=========== Testimg.php
<?php
ob_clean();
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
try{
$gd_info = gd_info();
if (extension_loaded('gd') && function_exists('gd_info')) {
// echo "It looks like GD is installed";
// exit();
}
// echo "GD Info: <pre>" . print_r($gd_info, true) . "</pre>";
if (function_exists('gd_info')) {
//echo "GD library is enabled.<br>";
} else {
echo "GD library is not enabled.<br>";
exit();
}
if (isset($gd_info['FreeType Support']) && $gd_info['FreeType Support']) {
//echo "FreeType support is enabled.<br>";
} else {
echo "FreeType support is not enabled.<br>";
exit();
}
$basedir=__DIR__."/resources/certifcateresources/";
$im =imagecreatetruecolor(400, 200);
$bg = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 0); // White background
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0); // Black text
$white =imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$red = imagecolorallocate($im, 0xFF, 0x00, 0x00);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00);
//imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 400, 200, $bg);
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 399, 200, $white);
$font_path = './arial.ttf';
$font_path = getcwd().'/calibrib.ttf';
// Check if the font file exists and is accessible
if (!file_exists($font_path)) {
// die('Error: Font file not found');
// exit();
}
// Check if we have write permission to the directory
if (!is_readable($font_path)) {
// die('Error: Font file is not readable');
// exit();
}
$text = 'Testing...';
//imagestring($im, 10, 10, 10, $text, $text_color);
imagettftext($im, 40 , 0, 50, 60, $red, $font_path, " @@@@@ ");
//p($bbox);
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
imagejpeg($im);
imagedestroy($im);
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
echo $e;
exit();
}
?>
=============
you need to find arial.ttf from internet to see it. its freely available . i tested in local pc with laragon and old server. it works

The problem us he php 5.6.4 come with plesk has old gd library version 2.1 instead of 2.33. Why ? Because we had plesk with centos in mediatemple with php 5.6 which had gd version 2.33

Now i have almalinux , the php version do not have gd version 2.33

Now i am looking for how to find and install. Remi dont have php 5.6 anymore
