PHP actually has access to some font rendering engines. I don't
recall the details, but one of my friends wrote some code to
generate text from PHP:

We are using it to generate the menu on the left:

The server is a Sun workstation with Solaris; it HAS X running,
but I'm quite sure it would work without it too.
