No, it is not the same thing.  Text in a vector-based format such as eps is
scalable.  ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick are inherently raster-based, and
before that, PNGs are raster-based.  Therefore, the text is not scaled and
anti-aliased according to the display size.

I will be looking over the proposed solution this evening.
