Hey Kevin, I ran into a similar problem. The main issue you are going to face is not knowing how long the final rendered string will be once it's turned into a graphic.
So far I've found no solution using the native CF8 image tools. If you really HAVE to accomplish this then the only (easy) way I found to do is to use ImageFlare from Efflare http://efflare.com/ It has a much more robust engine when it comes to complex tasks like generating graphics containing random types of text. If you're going to go down this road ping me off list and I'll shoot you some code samples.
