TL;DR

pbmtextps

Render text as a PBM image using PostScript. See also: pbmtext. More information: https://netpbm.sourceforge.net/doc/pbmtextps.html.

  • Render a single line of text as a PBM image:

pbmtextps "Hello World!" > path/to/output.pbm

  • Specify the font and font size:

pbmtextps -font Times-Roman -fontsize 30 "Hello World!" > path/to/output.pbm

  • Specify the desired left and top margins:

pbmtextps -leftmargin 70 -topmargin 162 "Hello World!" > path/to/output.pbm

  • Do not output the rendered text as a PBM image, but a PostScript program that would create this image:

pbmtextps -dump-ps "Hello World!" > path/to/output.ps
