What’s the output?

The strrev function is not unicode compatible http://de2.php.net/manual/en/function.strrev.php See the comments there for examples of unicode compatible ones.

Also see the imagettftext page, I think the following comment is exactly what you need: http://de2.php.net/manual/en/function.imagettftext.php#97767
