On Sun, 21 Aug 2005 Norman Gray submitted version 0.13 of his package
dvi2bitmap
to CTAN.
dvi2bitmap is a utility to convert TeX DVI files directly to bitmaps,
without going through the complicated (and slow!) route of conversion via
PostScript and PNM. The prime motivation for this is to prepare
mathematical equations for inclusion in HTML files but there are many
other uses beyond that. It can generate XBM and GIF bitmaps, plus PNG, if
you have the libpng library installed. It uses the same kpathsea
font-searching library as other TeX programs, again as long as you have
the appropriate library installed. The program is written in C++, and
incidentally provides a good object interface for DVI and PK files.
Location on CTAN: dviware/dvi2bitmap
