Have you seen my example PNG? My problem is not with bitmap fonts. BTW I tried to do what you said before I wrote to this list. Create a B&W image from the text and use it as an alpha channel while interpolating between the text color image and the original image. fonts. Then I realized that I have problems with overlaying one image onto another in general. The problem comes when 'original' is a transparent image. Paste will only handle one mask (textMask), but it doesn't care about the alpha channel of your original image. E.g. if your original image had this colour: (255,0,0,0) and your text color is (0,0,255,255) then the result will have lilac pixels (127,0,127,255) around the text, instead of (0,0,255,127). I created a short but detailed example with some source images, a python program and the explanation of the error. http://mess.hu/download/python/PIL_BUG.zip Les _______________________________________________ Image-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/image-sig
