Hi Laszlo ,
(sorry I can not help you)
just curious, what would you be using instead of PIL ?
reportlab or pycairo Not decided yet. My program prints out small images
on a printer, I do not really need to render an raster image, PDF would
also be fine.
And, when did Fredrik Lundh tell you this ?
He replied to my first post in private. It was about a month ago.
I also got a private response from somebody called Nicolas Pinault with
this:
I have not found a solution to your problem. I think the problem is in
_imagingft service.
In ImageFont.py module, FreeTypeFont class, getmask2 method :
Replace
im = fill("L", size, 0)
by
im = fill("L", size, 128)
Run your testcase. You can see that the text is located at the top of
the rendered window.
I guess that it should be located at the bottom of the rendered window
leaving space for the missing upper part of the font.
Unfortunately _imagingft service in not written in Python. So the
investigation is not as easy as with modules written in Python.
I think he is right. Unfortunately, I do not know C well enough to
fix/debug the problem.
Thanks,
Laszlo
