Just for fun, I made a couple of tests there: http://www.lesfavrets.fr/telec/grass_splash.tar.gz
using : - Fontin, a font by Jos Buivenga (exljbris a nice type foundry), licence here : http://www.exljbris.com/eula.html - an arbitrary image picked somewhere on the web only fo the test (probably not freely reusable). Hope this helps, Vincent.
