Further font drawing capabilities

[aleksblendwerk]

First of all, thumbs up for (finally) building a promising image manipulation library in PHP that's elegant and easy to handle.

And not sure if this is within the scope of Imagine at all but all the inconsistencies and hacks regarding to using non-standard fonts on the web (even now) kind of leave me wishing for a good PHP library that handles some 'advanced' things related to drawing text.

Some things I'd wish Imagine could do beyond basic font drawing are: the already requested word-wrapping (and a way to set the line height), letter spacing (plus maybe word spacing) and probably the most difficult/intense task to implement across all 'drivers': anti-aliasing.

I have been trying to find a suitable library for these things and never found anything that's "good enough" in terms of the output and the usability. (Been a while since I have been looking around, recommendations welcome!)

I think this would be a great step towards making Imagine more complete and as extended charts functions are already targeted, it would be great to have fonts covered as well.

(Also I was hesitant to make this an 'issue' at all but I guess this is the best way to put this up for discussion.)

Thanks for documenting this, I think its a nice feature-set that Imagine will definitely strive to cover
