Are there any simple utilities out there for converting a few characters of text (colloquially known as a 'word') to an image for use on the web?
I.e. convert text to .png or .gif.
It would be nice if one could set style, colour, etc. as well as size.
I'm sure it can be done with ImageMagick's convert. Eg: echo "This is some text" | convert -background red -page 200x50 text:- image.png (Example from http://wiki.a32.net/bin/qwiki.pl?ImageMagick)
My quick test with the above left some work to be done but I think it just needs some tweaking.
