pThumb watermarks

Is anyone using pthumb’s watermark text feature in MODX 3? Something broke, but I can’t figure out what is happening.

<img width="600" height="350" src="{'!pthumb' | snippet : ['input' => '/assets/media/images/naslovnice/hot_topics/2025/01_2025/image.jpg', 'useResizer' => 1, 'options' => 'w=600&h=350&zc=1&fltr[]=wmt|TEST|25|B|FFFFFF|proximanovabold.ttf|0|20|0||0|']}" />

removing the font does not help. Disabling resizer causes the font to not get recognised, but if I keep it on - the watermark does not show at all. The issue is present when I use a JPG image, but using PNG works immediately.

Could someone try to reproduce this? MODX 3.1.2, PHP 8.3.8 on Modx Cloud.

Seeing as nobody has replied at this point… I seem to remember something about the path to fonts being different for Resizer, in relation to where the images are cached.

Also, can you temporarily downgrade to PHP 7.4 to see if the problem persists?
