I passed Textrend a hebrew text file, and in the resulting GIF all the hebrew characters turned into meaningless symbols ('garbage'). The characters are within the ASCII range of 128

Wow. TEXTREND is a really old and silly utility of mine. I made it for a specific purpose: to capture a text file using my favorite font and color scheme to a GIF file. Nowadays, it's much easier to press Alt+Printscreen in the Command Prompt window if you need to capture text to a bitmap.
No, unfortunately upgrading for multiple codepages or fonts would not be easy. The font is stored in the EXE as a static array. I would also want to upgrade the code to Windows and replace the GIF code with PNG code. It just isn't worth my time.
