Did you try to use `reportPM` from rl_addons [1]_? This is an extension of the reportlab package. There is also PIL needed and on my linux box I needed some additional fonts [2]_. And then I could create PNG directly from reportlab, e.g: <code> from reportlab.graphics.shapes import Drawing, String from reportlab.graphics import renderPM d = Drawing(400, 200) d.add(String(150, 100, 'Hello World', fontSize=18)) renderPM.drawToFile(d, 'test.png', 'PNG') </code> ..
