Producing webimages from uninstalled TTF files.

Hi.

I have a question relating to this one - https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/10087654/Using-uninstalled-fonts-in-Delphi-programs.html

I want to produce a gif/jpg/png (basically any web supported image type) from around 22,000 uninstalled TTF font files (actually 21862 and counting).

Basically, the program will be pointed at a directory which contains the sub-dirs with all the ttfs.

I want to them produce a file (gif/jpg/png) of the font, based upon the name of the font (not the filename of the ttf). The image will contain the "A-Z", "a-z", "Jackdaws ... " or "The quick ..." text and the numbers and symbols.

I also want to produce complete character maps of all glyphs in the font. This would be a much bigger image file as it could contain thousands if images (any of the east asian fonts for example!).

So.

1 - Is there a decent font class/component/unit available that can extract the information without me having to dive into the truetype font spec.
2 - Do I need to install all the fonts, or can I really just say here is a ttf file, use it.
3 - Creating pngs. Another unit/class/component?

Thanks in advance,

Richard Quadling.

P.S. Anyone already done this gets an easy 250 grade A!
