Sorry to be a bit short with you.
The tool you are lookign for is 'pbmtext'
Along with that, you get all sorts of other 
utilities for graphics cropping, resizing and 
format conversion.
What you do is pipe the output of one to the other.

Not remembering EXACTLY what the utilities are,
what you need is


echo "Accounts" | pbmtext


Then use pnmscale and ppmtojpeg
