My Fonts had a tool for doing this back in (at least) 2009... I remember because I tried to run the burning "NERDS" sign from "Revenge of the nerds" through it. Didn't work very well though: I had to resort to human intervention. http://www.mrspeaker.net/2009/01/21/revenge-of-the-font-nerd...

Keen for an online version of this project so I can see if it fares any better!
