How can different fonts be utilized to enhance the readability of text in generated images?

Using different fonts in generated images can enhance readability by providing visual interest and variation in text styles. By selecting fonts that are clear, legible, and appropriate for the content, the text can be easier to read and understand. Additionally, using different fonts for headings, subheadings, and body text can help to distinguish different sections of the text and improve overall readability. 

// Set the font file paths for different fonts
$font1 = 'path/to/font1.ttf';
$font2 = 'path/to/font2.ttf';

// Set the text to be displayed
$text = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.';

// Create a new image with a white background
$image = imagecreatetruecolor(400, 100);
$white = imagecolorallocate($image, 255, 255, 255);
imagefilledrectangle($image, 0, 0, 400, 100, $white);

// Add text using different fonts
imagettftext($image, 20, 0, 10, 50, $black, $font1, 'Heading');
imagettftext($image, 14, 0, 10, 80, $black, $font2, $text);

// Output the image
header('Content-type: image/png');
imagepng($image);
imagedestroy($image);
