Some idea how to generate GIFs with letters:
(Linux is real easy, isn't it?)

------------>( -------

#!/bin/bash

for i in A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
do
  # %  \def\lett{á}
  (echo "\\def\\lett{$i}"; cat let.tex ) > alet.tex
  latex alet
  dvips alet.dvi -o alet.ps
  #  gv alet.ps
  pstopnm alet.ps          # *.pbm
  pnmcut 110 150 16 16 alet001.ppm > aletc.pbm
  ppmtogif aletc.pbm > $i.gif
done
rm alet*.*
echo 'now we have  ?.gif for all latin letters'

\documentclass[12pt]{report}
\usepackage[koi8-r]{inputenc}            % - put your lang here

\paperwidth = 14mm             % are these needed?
\paperheight = 21mm            %
\textwidth = 14mm              %
\textheight = 21mm             %
\marginparwidth = 0.0in
\marginparsep = 0.0in
\topmargin = 0.0in
\evensidemargin = 0.0in
\oddsidemargin = 0.0in
