/**********************************************************************
 * File:        text2image.cpp
 * Description: Program to generate OCR training pages. Given a text file it
 *              outputs an image with a given font and degradation.
 *
 *              Note that since the results depend on the fonts available on
 *              your system, running the code on a different machine, or
 *              different OS, or even at a different time on the same machine,
 *              may produce different fonts even if --font is given explicitly.
 *              To see names of available fonts, use --list_available_fonts with
 *              the appropriate --fonts_dir path.
 *              Specifying --use_only_legacy_fonts will restrict the available
 *              fonts to those listed in legacy_fonts.h
