It's kludgy, but you can create your graphics in PIL, save them as PNG, load
them with GD,
add text, save with GD, open in PIL and revise more if needed...

I've been told there is a FreeType module to plug in to PIL, which would be
great, but I can't
find any examples for using it.  (To be fair, it has been a while since I
looked.)
