IE doesn't belive in standard headers, so you'll want a META tag as
well, which it DOES trust. I guess Microsoft thinks web Designers
know more about character sets than web Programmers. They may have a
point there... :-)

I have no idea if imagettftext is "aware" of right-to-left and
left-to-right language differences, but something like strrev only for
Unicode might be a viable solution.
If the image is "right" and the INPUT box is "wrong" you can do HTML
attributes for rtl versus ltr, I think.
Not that I really have any clue what I'm talking about here...
