OPTIONS

19       --help Provide a description with a list of the available options.
20
21       --width num
22              Specifies the width of the output image. If this is omitted  the
23              image will be as wide as necessary to display the text.
24
25       --height num
26              Specifies the height of the output image. If this is omitted the
27              image will be as high as necessary to display the text.
28
29       --pixelsize num
30              Specifies the pixelsize used to display the text. This  argument
31              may  be  specified  multiple times and each refers to any --text
32              lines that follow it.
33
34       --text string
35              Specifies a line of text to be displayed. The string must be  in
36              UTF-8.  This argument may be specified multiple times to provide
37              several lines of text.  If  no  --text  arguments  are  supplied
38              fontimage  will examine the font, looking for various scripts it
39              knows about, and will try to display something  appropriate  for
40              each.
41
42       -o  outfile
43              Specifies  the  output filename for the image. The type of image
44              will be determined  by  the  file's  extension.  Currently  only
45              ".bmp"  and  ".png"  are  recognized.  If omitted fontimage will
46              choose an output name based on the font's fontname field.
