Alternatively, if you have access to a Linux or other unix box,
try the pbm tools.

	pbmtext -builtin fixed < image-text > image.pbm
	ppmtogif < image.pbm > image.gif

GIF is better than JPEG (patent issues aside) since this is not going
to have many colors.

pbmtoascii is not a very good ascii art converter, before you try
