Cacapee, can you disclose what GNU/Open Source libraries/modules do you use for fattening the fonts?
I convert all my small print documents to images that can be zoomed (for some of my documents pdf or djvu display is not big enough even with your pdflrf conversion). While I wait patiently for your pdflrf release with png export, I would be quite happy in the meantime to try my hand with direct processing of my images to fatten the print. I can do it now with ClearImage demo, using some tricks to do it in batch, but your processing is blindingly fast (taking into account a number of processing steps that pdflrf includes).
Nothing can substitute your refinements but for the time being, I need something to help me read small print without wasting my time with programs less efficient than yours.
