ComfyUI Node: Text To Image (mtb)

Text To Image (mtb):

The Text To Image (mtb) node is designed to convert textual input into an image using various font files. This node searches for any font files within the comfy_dir/fonts directory and defaults to a standard font if none are found. It allows you to create visually appealing text-based images by customizing various parameters such as font type, size, color, alignment, and more. This tool is particularly useful for AI artists who want to generate text-based graphics without needing extensive graphic design skills. The node ensures flexibility and creativity by providing multiple customization options, making it a valuable asset for creating unique and personalized text images.
