Using Images for Text?

[scriptless]

So I was wanting to use those cool numbers from state.png. I did the math.

Starting at:

PHP Code:

x=1
y=81 


Using a width of 14 and a height of 16 I was able to draw the numbers using showimg and changeimgpart.

PHP Code:

changeimgpart(423,1+(14*3),81,14,16);

My question is there a way to use images as font's for this?
