<p>I have followed both solutions listed here:</p>

<p><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/198007/php-function-imagettftext-and-unicode#201787">PHP function imagettftext() and unicode</a></p>

<p>but none of them worked. I used Arabic letters to be drawn into the image but they still crashed, here is the screenshot:</p>

<p>I tried many ways possible to convert $text into a readable encoding, but nothing worked !
is there a possible solution for this problem ?</p>
