Writing simple text on an image using PIL is easy: draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img) draw.text((10, y), text2, font=font, fill=forecolor )
however, when I try to write Hebrew punctuation marks (called "nikud" or ניקוד), the characters does not overlap as it should. I guess this question is relevant also to Arabic and other similar languages. On supporting environment, these two words take up the same space/width (the below example depend on your system, hence the image): סֶפֶר ספר However when drawing the text with PIL i'd get ס ֶ פ ֶ ר since the library probably doesn't obey kerning(?) rules. Is that all possible without writing manually character positioning? image url: http://tinypic.com/r/jglhc5/5
