How to save output to a png file?

For ASCII art, there is a tool https://github.com/ansilove/ansilove to save the output as a png file.
So how to save img2utf output, which contains non ASCII chars, to a png file?

You could use imagemagick's convert command to print the text:

convert -background white -fill black -font 'a font which supports all the necessary glyphs' label:@the-file-containing-the-text output.png

That's what I'm doing for my use-case:

I'm using FairfaxSMHD.ttf font.

@lf94 I still have problem of converting with “ width or height exceeds limit”.

MAGICK_WIDTH_LIMIT=200MP MAGICK_HEIGHT_LIMIT=200MP convert -background white -fill black -font 'UbuntuMono-R.ttf' label:@p.ansi output.png
convert-im6.q16: width or height exceeds limit `@p.ansi' @ error/label.c/ReadLABELImage/138.
convert-im6.q16: no images defined `output.png' @ error/convert.c/ConvertImageCommand/3258.

p.ansi file content:

@lf94 How can I know which fonts support all the necessary glyphs?

Any font which supports the Symbols for Legacy Computing block. The font I wrote supports it. 🙂

That error you hit is because of Imagemagick policy, located somewhere in /etc/. Remove the policy about width. I think policies exist to prevent imagemagick from exceeding certain memory restrictions and other things.
