Wrong. Don't make rash assumptions about what the project
requirements should be when that project hasn't been described. A
need was posted, so the proper response is to address that need
rather than question it. There are plenty of reasons why someone
may want to render text as graphics:
* Graphical display of data requires text on the graph axes and
legend, and that makes most sense as part of the graphic.
* CAPTCHA requires the use of text in graphics.
* Using some text as graphics is a good way to shield content from
spiders and crawlers.
* Clickable buttons containing text descriptions.
* Etc.
