more things to search for and learn about, will give you more insights; ghostscript - converts text to various image formats (platform independent - based on postscript fonts for 'rendering') file formats supported include tiff.
pdfwriter - could be possibly accessed using windows (a windows printer driver that converts any 'windows printable file' to pdf, which can then be converted to a tiff) imagemagick - several functions will render text into an image file. for small text blocks this would work, but for full pages of fancifully formatted text, youd be forced to manage the fancy placement - in essence your program would be responsible for the page layout. there is a command line version, and a perl interface - though I don't know how current the perl interface is. latex, enscript, _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
