`ctext2pgm' creates an image file in PGM or PBM format from a
151
multilingual text file encoded by compound text format. It also
152
supports various text encodings such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean EUCs
153
and Shift-JIS. PGM and PBM formats are portable formats, image files
154
can be easily converted to another image format such as GIF, TIFF.
156
It supports various character sets and left-to-right and right-to-left
160

161
--- Latin character sets,
162

312
--- Select a font face: bold or italic (or oblique), respectively.
313
Default face is normal.
316
--- Select a font set of 14-, 16-, 18-, or 24-dot, respectively.
317
Default font size if 16.
320
--- Select a scalable font set and scales the font to n dot.
323
--- Specify vertical and horizontal magnification factors.
327
--- Specify horizontal magnification factor.
330
--- Specify vertical magnification factor.
333
--- Print all installed character sets and font names. Then exit the program.
337
Options for typesetting:
340
--- Specify factor of baseline skip.
341
Baseline of a text is moved this value times dot-size of a selected
342
font set. Default value is 1.2.
345
--- Each line is centered.
346
Output image is vertically and horizontally centered.
349
--- Each line is flushed left.
350
This is default mode if writing directionality is left-to-right.
351
Output image is flushed left.
354
--- Each line is flushed left, but image is not flushed left.
357
--- Each line is flushed to right.
358
This is the default mode if writing directionality is
359
right-to-left. (Note that options `-flush-right' and
361
--- consider an English text including Arabic words in the same line.)
362
Output image is flushed right.
365
--- Each line is flushed right, but image is not flushed right.
368
It is important to notice that the difference of `-flush-left' and
369
`-left-line' options (and `-flush-right' and `-right-line' options). By
370
`-flush-left' option, input text is typeset to flush each line left and
371
typeset result is placed in the left of an output image. By
372
`-left-line' option, input text is typeset to flush each line left and
373
does not specify how to put the typeset result in an output image. The
374
difference appears when the horizontal size of output image is
375
explicitly given by `-pw' option.
383
--- Select binary PGM format for image output.
386
--- Select ascii PGM format for image output.
387
This is the default output mode.
390
--- Select ascii PBM format for output an image.
392
-ascii-art or -ascii-art-v
393
--- An image is printed as an ASCII art. (Vertical mode)
394
Baseline is vertical; thus this mode is similar to the `banner'
398
--- An image is printed as an ASCII art. (Horizontal mode)
399
Baseline is horizontal.
402
--- Select EPS format for image output.
403
By default, 16-dot font is printed by 12-point in EPS file. To
404
change the point size, use the -eps-ptsize option described below.
407
--- Select point size of characters for EPS output.
408
If this option is given, point size of each character is scaled to
409
PT point regardless dot size of fonts.
412
--- An image is not shipped out.
415
--- Reverse the black and white of output image.
416
(This option does not have effect when EPS is selected for image
420
--- Shrink factor for anti-aliased output.
421
N by N pixels are shrinked together and forms one pixel in an
422
output image. This option has effect when output format is PGM and
423
EPS. Default value is 1.
426
--- Specify width of output image (in pixels).
427
If this option is not given, the width of output image is the
428
smallest width to contain the glyph of all characters.
431
--- Specify height of output image (in pixels).
432
If this option is not given, the height of output image is the
433
smallest height to contain the glyph of all characters.
436
--- Specify horizontal and vertical margins of output image (in pixels).
437
Default margin is zero pixel.
440
--- Specify horizontal margin of output image (in pixels).
441
Default margin is zero pixel.
444
--- Specify vertical margin of output image (in pixels).
445
Default margin is zero pixel.
448
--- An image of typeset text is horizontaly and vertically centered.
451
--- An image of typeset text is horizontaly centered.
454
--- An image of typeset text is vertically centered.
457
--- An image of typeset text is flushed left.
460
--- An image of typeset text is flushed right.
463
--- An image of typeset text is flushed top.
466
--- An image of typeset text is flushed bottom.
472
Making input files for ctext2pgm
473
--------------------------------
475
Any text editor can be used to prepare input files for `ctext2pgm'.
476
Input files are plain texts. If you want to create an image containing
477
multiple character sets, save the files by *compound text* encoding. If
478
you want to make images of Arabic text, use the `Mule' editor. (`Mule'
479
is an extension of `GNU Emacs' for multilingual text processing.) For
480
making images of Arabic script, `ctext2pgm' only supports a text created
481
by Mule, ISO-8859-6 is not supported.
483
Unlike TeX and HTML, newlines of input files are *not* ignored and a
484
newline character in input text breaks line. Thus, input text is
485
typeset like `verbatim' environment of LaTeX or `<PRE> ... </PRE>' tag
490
Commands in input text
491
----------------------
493
Several commands can be embedded in text files such as font switch.
494
Command sequence starts by a backslash (`\') followed by one character
495
which represents command name. If you want to display a backslash
496
character itself, use double backslashes `\\'.
498
Following commands are defined:
501
`\f', `\t', `\h', `\c'
502
--- Change of font families.
503
Current font family is changed to fixed, times, Helvetia, courier,
507
--- Current font family is changed to the default font family.
508
The default font family can be specified by a command line option.
511
--- Change of font faces.
512
Current font face is changed to normal, bold, italic, respectively.
515
--- Current font face is changed to the default font face.
516
The default font face can be specified by a command line option.
519
--- Same as `\d' followed by `\D'.
522
--- Black and white of glyph of following characters are reversed.
523
This command is recommended *only* for fixed-width fonts. (For the
524
reason of current implementation, resulting bitmap is ugly for
525
proportional fonts and you cannot read the text in an image.)
527
Nesting of `\(' has no effect.
530
--- End of reversing black and white.
533
--- Print backslash itself.
541
In case you failed to obtain a desired image output, the following
542
command line options for debugging may be useful. (Debugging messages
543
are printed to standard output. The `-none' option is useful to
544
suppress printing binary image to your terminal. Otherwise, debugging
545
message and image file are printed together on your terminal!)
548
--- Print the state transition of the parser for compound text.
550
--- Print the state transition of bi-directionality handling.
552
--- Print font name to be opened.
554
--- Print each character glyph in ascii-art form.
556
--- Print each line image by in ascii-art form.
558
--- Print entire page image in ascii-art form.
560
--- Selects all debugging options above.

Difference between VFlib version 3.6 and 2
569
******************************************
571
VFlib version 3.6 and version 2 are quite different and you should
572
forget about VFlib version 2.
575
VFlib 2 was designed only for Japanese Kanji fonts
576
VFlib 3.6 can handle fonts for multilingual text printing.
578
Font metric is introduced in VFlib 3.6
579
VFlib 2 does not concepts on font metrics since it assumes all
580
characters are the same metrics. Font metrics is introduced in
581
VFlib 3.6 and proportional fonts can be used.
583
Syntax of vflibcap file
584
Syntax of vflibcap file is quite different. VFlib 2 adopted
585
termcap-like notation, but now VFlib 3.6 adopts lisp-like notation.
587
Arguments and return values of function are changed
588
In VFlib 2, bitmaps of characters are written in a frame buffer
589
which is given by argument. But in VFlib 3.6, a bitmap object is
