some languages like Chinese have different character sets,  people who want to view it have to download some langauge support softwares, but I just heared if program can create those characters to be an image on the fly, then it will skip the download, it is very convenient. but I don't know how to do, maybe this is also related to this question. Does anyone have some ideas on it? thanks!

I'm also using gd library to createa on the fly images for my free counter site. I've observed
that using fonts (any) is consuming huge amount of cpu and memory. Try to not to use different
font files and or try to reduce character count in word or sentences.
Also you may create a bacground image and try to load it instead of creating it also on the fly.
