gFONT -- Create GIF image rendered with TeX-available Font
<URL:http://www.engelschall.com/sw/gfont/>
Version 1.0b2 (27-03-1997)
The gFONT program creates a GIF image for a given ASCII string by the use of
an arbitrary TeX-available font (Postscript or METAFONT). The used font is
converted from TeX's PK format to gFONT's own GdF format (Gd Font) and
rendered into the resulting GIF image by the use of its own enhanced Gd
library. The result is intended to be included into HTML pages with an IMG
tag.
