Functions to Create MINST from Fonts, Combine MINST Data Files, Generate PNG from MINST etc. Written in PHP
I was playing around with the MINST and wanted to see if machine can identify the digit images generated by publicly available .ttf fonts Didn't find utils to manipulate or generate MINST data, so wrote few, may save someone's 5-6 hrs of work. Feel free to add/change and share. To check, just get some Ubuntu fonts or Google free fonts in a directory and run the MINST::parseAndGenerateMinstNImages($pathToFontsDir)

There are three main functions available as public static in MINST class.
