The `imageloadfont` function man page <http://php.net/manual/en/function.imageloadfont.php> says: The font file format is currently binary and architecture dependent. This means you should generate the font files on the same type of CPU as the machine you are running PHP on. :: but doesn't explain how you "generate" the file; anyone familiar with the process?
