pbmtext(1) Unix Programmer's Manual 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.
