I've done god only knows how many searches looking for a solution to this with no joy so any help you can offer would be great.
I'm after an image editor that has the following:
Must be PHP or JavaScript (even jQuery) or some combo of the two
Must allow images to be uploaded
Must allow text to be dynamically added, resized, color changed and positioned
Must allow fonts to be chosen from a list of fonts I upload to the server, not the basic browser fonts or Google Fonts etc.
Must allow generation and download of new image based on the old image + the added text
This is for my users, none of whom are experienced enough to do offline image editing.

This statement doesn't make any sense. You seem to be looking for a open-source version of Photopea because GIMP / Paint.net is hard to use? lol

Based on the description OP wants a selfhosted meme generator.
Kind of. But it wouldn't be for memes. So that functionality but not that purpose.
Edit: using that as a search phrase has given me a lot of options that I can fork. Thanks for putting the idea in my head :)
What doesn't make sense about it? They don't have the knowledge to use an offline image editor so I'd like to offer them the ability to make very simple changes to an image. Photopea is beyond what they need and would no doubt be equally confusing for them.
What doesn't make sense is your use of the term "offline editor" - it's entirely nonsensical in this context. If they can't use an offline editor, they won't be any better with an online editor. It's like saying you need a 4 door car because you can't drive a 2 door car - it's the same thing with more seats. Photo editing is photo editing regardless of where the software is hosted.
What on earth are you talking about? How is an offline editor like Photoshop or GIMP in any way comparable to a simple app like the one i described in my post, that simply allows a user to add text to an image?
Just use imgflip.com - that's all it does is add text to images.
