Hi guys,
I'm interested in using Pango to set type in OpenType fonts to be saved as PNG images. I've done some googling and I can't find any examples on how to use the library or pango-view to do this without GTK. The idea is to use either pango-view or the Pango Ruby wrapper to convert text into PNGs on the fly from a linux server that's not running gtk, for use as titles in web pages.
I've got pango-view installed, but when I run it I get:
% pango-view -q --text "hi there" -o hi.png pango-view: Cannot open display
Any pointers would be great!
Regards,
Josh
