I see. I tried installing FreeType2 via fink, but couldn't get it to work. Fink says the install was successful, but I can't find the files in /sw/lib or /sw/include (and neither can PIL's setup.py). I think a useful first step would be to find out if the issue is caused by FreeType2 or PIL, so building FreeType2 from source and tweaking some options might help with that. I have also noticed a similar problem when drawing italic or "skewed" fonts in PhotoShop. When I select the text for editing, the text renders outside the selection box, just like in my PIL example, so maybe this is a known issue with TrueType/OpenType fonts? I'm not sure if the odd rendering affects centering in PS or if it's just a visual quirk when editing, but in my code it's causing problems because I want to use the width returned from getsize() to center the text.
