Already there are two replies, still my two ..

first convert the text to postscript.
Then,
 ghostscript:  ps to ppm or pgm ( depending on color or grayscale) ** 
          (choose a low resolution or get a HUUGE image)
 ppmtogif or pbmtogif    : done !
  
But who wants to pay Unisys? Better make png from ps using
ghostscript.

** The ghostscript I have doesn't handle japanese though. Can any one 
tell me how can I teach it the art of kanji drawing?
