A little script generates SVG files with localized text from a template, then renders them via Inkscape to PNG. For RTL text, transformations are applied to reverse the directions of some elements.
The Japanese and Arabic text are probably more or less gibberish as I just grabbed bits out of the current site notice without much concern for what they mean, as this is just for font testing. ;)
The Esperanto text shows a couple of funky-looking characters as the copy of Gill Sans on my Mac doesn't have a complete set of Latin characters.
Text spacing and various other details are not completely worked out here; this is just a mockup to illustrate the basic mechanism. A final version would likely need the ability to fudge font sizes up and down and select alternate fonts when the default doesn't contain all required Latin characters.
