Configure php with the following:

--with-gd=/tmp/www/gd-2.0.1
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local/include/freetype2
--enable-gd-imgstrttf

Then just obtain some chinese/japanese true type fonts and use the
following script below and substitute arial.ttf for the asian font:

<?php
################################################
### draw an image for the header and print some stuff on it.
###############################################

## tell the browser what it is
header("Content-type: image/jpeg");

## draw a new image
$width = 600;
$height = 100;
$image = imagecreate($width, $height);

##make the background same as page
$backg = imagecolorallocate($image, 0, 51, 102);

##make the text white
$text = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255);

imagefilledrectangle($image, 0, 0, $width, $height, $backg);

## now let's print some text to the image
imagettftext($image, 40, 0, 60, 75, $text,"/home/www/htdocs/arial.ttf",
"some guy");

## off it goes
imagejpeg($image);

## cleanup
imagedestroy($image);

?>
