pbmtext 





pbmtext(1)                                             pbmtext(1)

NAME
       pbmtext - render text into a bitmap

SYNOPSIS
       pbmtext [-font fontfile] [-builtin fontname] [-space pixels]
[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.

       In the bitmap, each line of input is a line of output. 
Formatting characters such as new­
       line  have  no  effect  on  the formatting; like any unprintable
character, they turn into
       spaces.
