This probably should not be merged (yet? ever?) because it is a gross hack and doesn't even support multi-line text yet, but I really wanted support to print text from the command line. The kerning is... almost... right. Should this use PCF files instead of Freetype? That way I guess one could try to just pull in the OE fonts from the P-touch software somehow?

I don't know, but at least I wanted to offer this upstream so far. I have no idea if I'll ever touch it again.

@jwise Can you add photo of your setup and the expected outcome and some more detailed description to the Readme file on how to use this feature. What models did you test it on?

Ok, here is a photo of my setup. I tested it only on my PT-P710BT with some 12mm label stock, which is my default for labeling anything and everything around my house.

I also added some text to the README.
