can read, and then produces an image showing representative glyphs
of the font.

- --width num
- Specifies the width of the output image. If this is omitted the

- Specifies the height of the output image. If this is omitted
the image will be as high as necessary to display the text.

may be specified multiple times and each refers to any --text lines
that follow it.
- --text string
- Specifies a line of text to be displayed. The string must be in
UTF-8. This argument may be specified multiple times to provide
several lines of text. If no --text arguments are supplied
fontimage will examine the font, looking for various scripts

each.
- -o outfile

will be determined by the file's extension. Currently only ".bmp"
and ".png" are recognized. If omitted fontimage will choose
