What's involved is taking a couple of pre-made words/phrases ("LATEST
NEWS", "UPCOMING EVENTS", "SUPPORT US", "SHORCUTS" etc etc) and turn
those into PNGs. In specific colors.

What would be even better is if it's in a font format that can be used
with some commandline tool to generate the files, that way it'll be even
easier if/when we want to change it.

So if you can check if she has Frutiger Roman and can use it, that would
be a big help. What font format would it be in? TTF?
