Subject: rendering bitmap fonts from ruby

hi!

i need to generate some bitmap headlines + was wondering if there are
any ruby libraries for rendering type to bitmaps?

we have a mixed linux/os-x environment, and getting rmagick running
for everyone looks like a bunch of work. are there any more quick
install gems out there that have less functionality but will allow me
to render a headline in a font + size of my choice to a bitmap (JPG
ideally)?

whats the word on GD library vs imagemagick vis-a-vis playing nice with ruby?

thanks!
