Does it exist? Ascii to raster graphics is also supported by JavE: Menu File -> Ascii2Gif There are various options: Choosing a font size of 1, 2 or 3 makes the export work almost like the image2ascii algorithm the other way around. You can get an idea of this feature, when looking at the thumbnail browser screenshot at http://www.jave.de/screenshots/scr_thumb.gif. With greater font sizes you get a screenshot tool equivalent. There is also a "Pixel View" option, where more technical drawings (with boxes) are brushed up by connecting rectangular shapes to real rectangles. In general I don't know about any other kinds of conversion options in this direction. For example what result do you expect when converting to vector graphics - different from the text itself consisting of character objects?
