I want to make a 16x16 bitmap from one char of one of the many fonts
on my system.

With pbmtext I can make a one char icon to send to or png2ico or
ppmtowinicon. My problem is how do I turn a Chinese big5 char into a
16x16 png or pbm from the command line? I have lots of fonts
installed on my system, but e.g. pbmtext doesn't seem to work beyond
ascii.

I even got a Chinese char into gimp for xpm2wico, but couldn't make it
1-bit black and white. Therefore I want a command line solution.
