pbmtext(1) AMIGA (5 January 1991) pbmtext(1)
NAME
pbmtext - render text into a bitmap
SYNOPSIS
pbmtext [-font fontfile] [text]
DESCRIPTION
Takes the specified text, either a single line from the
command line or multiple lines from standard input, and
renders it into a bitmap.
OPTIONS
By default, pbmtext uses a built-in font. You can also
specify your own font with the -font flag. The fontfile is
a pbm file, created in a very specific way. In your window
system of choice, display the following text in the desired
(fixed-width) font:
M ",/^_[`jpqy| M
/ !"#$%&'()*+ /
< ,-./01234567 <
> 89:;<=>?@ABC >
@ DEFGHIJKLMNO @
_ PQRSTUVWXYZ[ _
{ \]^_`abcdefg {
} hijklmnopqrs }
~ tuvwxyz{|}~ ~
M ",/^_[`jpqy| M
Do a screen grab or window dump of that text, using for
instance xwd, xgrabsc, or screendump. Convert the result
into a pbm file. If necessary, use pnmcut to remove
everything except the text. Finally, run it through pnmcrop
to make sure the edges are right up against the text.
pbmtext can figure out the sizes and spacings from that.
