The php.net description of the imagestring() function
(http://php.net/manual/en/function.imagestring.php) says that it draws "a
string horizontally".

I believe that the function is not constructed to draw multiple lines, but
only text in a single horizontal line.

So, to draw two strings, one line apart, you make two calls to
imagestring(), with two individual strings.

The second call should use the first call's x and y values, offset by the
font size (imagefontheight()) plus the amount of space between each line.
