I use a program (non-PD) called HotShot.

It captures all sorts of screens (only up to EGA so far), including text,
and will convert to various graphic formats (TIFF, GEM, PostScript EPS, etc.),
including its own internal format for editing.

Text screens can be modified (highlight, etc.) and then convert to graphics,
in any proportion you want.
