- NAME
- pbmtext - render text into a bitmap
-
- SYNOPSIS
- pbmtext [-font _✓f_✓o_✓n_✓t_✓f_✓i_✓l_✓e] [_✓t_✓e_✓x_✓t]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Takes the specified text, either a single line from the com-
- mand 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 _✓f_✓o_✓n_✓t_✓f_✓i_✓l_✓e 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 _✓x_✓w_✓d, _✓x_✓g_✓r_✓a_✓b_✓s_✓c, or _✓s_✓c_✓r_✓e_✓e_✓n_✓d_✓u_✓m_✓p. Convert the result
- into a pbm file. If necessary, use _✓p_✓n_✓m_✓c_✓u_✓t to remove every-
- thing except the text. Finally, run it through _✓p_✓n_✓m_✓c_✓r_✓o_✓p to
- make sure the edges are right up against the text. _✓p_✓b_✓m_✓t_✓e_✓x_✓t
- can figure out the sizes and spacings from that.
