I got tired of it being a royal pain in the ass to get fancy text (defined as anything other than the Eagle CAD built-in vector font) on the silkscreen of my boards. I wrote a Python 3 program (requiring cairocffi) to generate an Eagle CAD library file containing "devices" and "packages" of rasterized text, for use on silkscreen (or any other layer you choose). https://github.com/brouhaha/eagletext Requires Python 3, cairocffi Only tested on Fedora 23 x86_64 with Python 3.4.3, cairocffi 0.6, cffi 1.4.2, cairo 1.14.2 It will probably work on other reasonably recent Linux distributions. I haven't the slightest idea how to get it working on Windows or MacOS, though if cairocffi is available it may work. I also can't tell you, even on Linux, what arguments you can use with the "--font" option, other than that it has to be something the cairo library understands.
