how can i display my local language(Telugu or any language) in a image?

[Ramesh Konda]

  <?php
  header("Content-Type: image/jpeg");

  $im = imagecreatefromjpeg('000.jpg');
  // get the image size
  $w = imagesx($im);
  $h = imagesy($im);

  // place some text (top, left)
  imagettftext($im, 60, 0, 300, 100, 0xFFFFFF, 'vani.ttf', 'వాసి');

  imageJpeg($im, "001.jpg", 85);
  imagepng($im, $save);
  imagedestroy($im);
  ?>
