I also proposed this python library (https://github.com/MatteoGuadrini/fontpreview) because it is really well done! I also tried using the FontBanner class to do more complex things: from fontpreview import FontBanner fb = FontBanner('/tmp/noto.ttf', 'landscape', bg_color=(253, 194, 45)) fb.save('/tmp/fb.png') You can also upload background images: fb.bg_image = 'image/path.jpg' fb.draw() I also found this reference in stackoverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1920129/methods-to-creat...
In Font previews in command line with Python
