imageloadfont() loads a user-defined bitmap
font and returns an identifier for the font (that is always
greater than 5, so it will not conflict with the built-in fonts).
It returns FALSE in case of error.
The font file format is currently binary and architecture
dependent. This means you should generate the font files on the
same type of CPU as the machine you are running PHP on.
