No, PIL can take advantage of the freetype library if it finds it at build time. You may need to explictly set FREETYPE_ROOT in PIL's setup.py to point to the library if you've installed it in a non- standard place. I think most Linux distribution packages of PIL include freetype support by default, and the OS X pre-compiled package does as well. _______________________________________________ Image-SIG maillist - Image-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/image-sig
