I'm interested in using Pango to set type in OpenType fonts to be saved as
PNG images. I've done some googling and I can't find any examples on how
to use the library or pango-view to do this without GTK. The idea is to
use either pango-view or the Pango Ruby wrapper to convert text into PNGs
on the fly from a linux server that's not running gtk, for use as titles
in web pages.
I've got pango-view installed, but when I run it I get:
% pango-view -q --text "hi there" -o hi.png
Hello Joshua,
I wrote something exactly for this a while back, but never got around to
publish it. I just uploaded it to Launchpad for you:
Dude, just hack pango-view to do what you want.
https://code.launchpad.net/~uws/+junk/render-text-to-image
There's a README file telling you how to use it. Basically it's just his:
$ render-text-to-image \
--font='Georgia' \
--size=48 \
--text-color='#eee' \
--background-color='#000' \
--text='Hello, world!' \
--output=hello.png
It also supports transparency, margins, and some simple markup.
pango-view from the just-released pango 1.24.0 does all that:
$ pango-view \
--font 'Georgia 48px' \
--foreground '#eee' \
--background transparent \
--text 'Hello, world!' \
--output hello.png \
--no-display
Cheers,
behdad
Good luck, and let me know if you have any comments!
