If the text "GROFF and Friends" was initially a standalone image which was stacked on top of another image, it seems like it's exactly the goal. Would it be possible to share how you achieved this, i.e. how to "wrap a bitmap in custom Postscript code"? Even if it's manually tedious, it would be ok. Also, if it uses any kind of non-standard operators, it would be useful to know what the limitations are, for example, if you have to use specifically the GhostScript program to convert PS->PDF, etc.
Thank you.
