Check out the code at the bottom of this page:
http://www.rubblewebs.co.uk/imagemagick ... k_text.php

Change this to the path of your font :
-font Helvetica-Bold
If the font is in the same folder as the code
-font verdana.ttf

Swampy,
You can use the POST variables from your form in PHP to build a text string containing your annotate command, then do a system call using the string you just built to generate the image, then print out a HTML string to display the image.

This is also PHP specific. not IM specific. If you can get the info, you can pass it to IM.
