I've been working on a txt2lrf program which
could work with any encoding.
The tool would first render the txt file, save the result to a gif image, and then embed all the GIFs to a LRF file.
I've studied the makelrf source code, and got everything almost done. But what I found was, the antialiased font doesn't work very well on the Sony Reader - not as good as pdflrf.
It seems pdflrf uses an Image Edge Enhancement algorithm to make the text 'bolder'. (I tried Sobel operator, but it didn't work very well.)

As I'm not quite familiar with image processing, I wonder if the source of pdflrf is available so that I can refer to it. I've been searching over the internet all day, but couldnt find it. Anybody could help?
