The basic steps were to generate individual images of each of your lines, and to line them all together vertically. I used LaTeX for both of these steps. For the first step, I wrote a python program that reads each of your lines and generates a LaTeX document to typeset that line in uppercase helvetica; and then ran pdflatex and pdfcrop on each. For the second step, I started with the list of cropped PDFs from the first step, and created a LaTeX file that lined them up. And, again, pdfcrop'd the result. Finally, used gimp to convert the PDF to a PNG.Rahul Siddharthanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04809667965184094636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9818962.post-49058453321070383022009-05-17T23:46:00.000+05:302009-05-17T23:46:00.000+05:30Hi Rahul, that's pretty nice.
