Configure php with the following: --with-gd=/tmp/www/gd-2.0.1 --with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/include/freetype2 --enable-gd-imgstrttf Then just obtain some chinese/japanese true type fonts and use the following script below and substitute arial.ttf for the asian font: <?php ################################################ ### draw an image for the header and print some stuff on it. ############################################### ## tell the browser what it is header("Content-type: image/jpeg"); ## draw a new image $width = 600; $height = 100; $image = imagecreate($width, $height); ##make the background same as page $backg = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 51, 102); ##make the text white $text = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255); imagefilledrectangle($image, 0, 0, $width, $height, $backg); ## now let's print some text to the image imagettftext($image, 40, 0, 60, 75, $text,"/home/www/htdocs/arial.ttf", "some guy"); ## off it goes imagejpeg($image); ## cleanup imagedestroy($image); ?>
