Thanks Brian.

I am taking a copy of an existing image for the background, then using
imagefttext to insert each line of text into it using a font and text
specified by the client.  Creating a new font would be a problem as the
client has a set of fonts they wish to choose from on the fly when putting
up content.  Probably the first idea is better, however I wish to make it
look like a hand drawn line has been put through it with a thick marker pen.

Maybe a highlight image divided into end points and middle section which I
can lengthen as needed.  I might try that to start with.
