Issue

Creation of *.php files containing complete filepath in directory:
/public_html/modules/AOS_PDF_Templates/PDF_Lib/ttfontdata/

The following php files are created there:

dejavusanscondensed.cw127.php
dejavusanscondensed.mtx.php
dejavusanscondensedB.mtx.php
dejavusanscondensedBI.mtx.php

My issue is that they contain the full path to a font file, instead of a relative path.

Snippet of a file above:

<?php
$name='DejaVuSansCondensed-BoldOblique';
$type='TTF';
...
$ttffile='/var/www/myfakedomain/public_html/modules/AOS_PDF_Templates/PDF_Lib/ttfonts/DejaVuSansCondensed-BoldOblique.ttf';

Expected Behavior

A 'dynamic' absolute file path so it won't bother GIT repository

Example:

$ttffile=realpath( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '../ttfonts/DejaVuSansCondensed-BoldOblique.ttf');

Actual Behavior

The full path as string is put in the generated php files.
The files itself are not ignored and appear as untracked files:

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
	modules/AOS_PDF_Templates/PDF_Lib/ttfontdata/dejavusanscondensed.cw.dat
	modules/AOS_PDF_Templates/PDF_Lib/ttfontdata/dejavusanscondensed.mtx.php

Possible Fix

See expected behavior
Or, exclude the files *.cw.dat and *.mtx.php in directory "modules/AOS_PDF_Templates/PDF_Lib/ttfontdata" from git ?

Steps to Reproduce

I can't find code that these ttfontdata files actually creates.
After a fresh Suitecrm v7.11.20 install, one did appear after creating a pdf template and printing a Quote with it.

Context

Using GIT
