This may or may not be the solution. Have you checked the TTFdpi 
configuration using the install script?

In the backend select Install and login.  Select 3: Image Processing. At 
the bottom of the page select  5: GD library functions.  Move down the 
page to Render text with TrueType font.  If "HELLO WORLD" is truncated 
on the image on the left you need to alter the TTFdpi configuration.

At the top of the page Select 4: All Configuration.  Scroll down to 
[TTFdpi] (just above [SYS]:).  The value is probably 72.  Set it to 96 
then scroll to the bottom of the page and select Write to 
localconf.php.  Repeat the above steps to see if "HELLO WORLD" displays 
correctly.  If so then this has probably solved your problem.  If not I 
don't know what your problem is.
