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.
