I can't speak for the future content of
http://lilypond.org/~graham/Text-input.html, but I will be working on
the next version of the essay (once the directory structure for images
in Documentation/ stabilizes), and it should not require any
bit-mapped text. Even in cases such as
http://lilypond.org/web/images/lily14-sarabande-correct.png, the
corrections could be highlighted visually without requiring that
descriptions occur in the image.
