Do use RMagick ! (excerpt from text.rb in examples:)

~  #!c:/unix/ruby/bin/ruby -w

~  require 'RMagick'

~  imgl = Magick::ImageList.new
~  imgl.new_image(190,190)

~  sample = Magick::Draw.new
~  sample.stroke('transparent')
~  sample.font_family('times')
~  sample.pointsize(24)

~  sample.font_style(Magick::NormalStyle)
~  sample.text(20,40, 'NormalStyle')

~  # (...)

~  sample.draw(imgl)

~  imgl.write('text.gif')
