Hello,

I want to accomplish the following task witm minimum (or no) programming the most effective way:

input:

txt file, n rows of text
font-file (ttf or similar)
background color
font-size

output:

n images (png, jpg whatever) where the i-th image is the i-th line of text from the input file, rendered with the input font etc. etc. , 1 <= i <=n.

I am new to linux, so easy on me :-D gimp2.0' s script-fu has kinda this stuff but it creates only one image with n layers which is not exactly what i want.
I could not force imagemagick either to do this for me, although it is
maybe possiblle...

thx
Peter

Hello,

It's been a while, but I think ImageMagick might work for this.

HTH,
