Well, here's what I have:

header ("Content-type: image/png");
$image_text = "Sample Text";
        $img_handle = ImageCreate (230, 20) or die ("Cannot Create image");
        $back_color = ImageColorAllocate ($img_handle, 0, 10, 10);
        $txt_color = ImageColorAllocate ($img_handle, 233, 114, 191);
        ImageString ($img_handle, 31, 5, 5,  $image_text, $txt_color);
        ImagePng ($img_handle); 

This creates an image with a black background and pink text.
It's simple, 230px by 20px.
Hope that at least gets you down the right path.

Make sure that there's no line breaks between the opening <? and the header("Content-type: image/png"); part.

Also, make sure GD is installed on your server.

Thanks! ...for your post. That script is good, but i try to use my own font and i change it a little bit. The problem that i had it was because i didn't write to the font url the all url from the home, for example i write "fontName.ttf" and i shoud write "/home/joshua/public_html/fontName.ttf" (i use Linux as OS). Thanks for you script!
