Create PNG from TTF

I downloaded the Google Fonts package. But choosing a font from among the hundreds (and hundreds) of choices looked to be a pain. So, I wanted a bunch of PNG's I could scroll through in an Image Viewer to preview the various fonts.

Using an Image Viewer is still less than ideal. But the script performs as directed, which is about as high praise for a script as there is.

Note: If the text rolls off the edge of the image (i.e. the_words_are_too_long) or a font does not provide the requested size (24, in this case), the script will hang.

The script hung about six times going through the Google Fonts Collection... but not once for the base MS WIN 10 Fonts.

"And that's all I have to say about that."
