1. The unit is the number of pixels to an em. Often this doesn't
correspond to any actual measurement on the letters. See
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://type101.fontbureau.com/archives/36">http://type101.fontbureau.com/archives/36</a> for more information about
ems.<br>
<br>
2. PIL doesn't offer any help on finding font files. You'll have to
deal with that yourself.<br>

I draw fonts using ImageFont module. I have two questions on ImageDraw
module.<br>
<br>
1. What is the unit of font size?<br>
<br>
ImageFont.trutype(file, size) can specify the font size as its second
argument. I specified font size 10, but the output text seems to be
smaller than 10. <br>
<br>
<br>
2. What is the best way to get a list of fonts which can be passed to
ImageFont.truetype(file, size)? Certainly, I can scan Windows system
fonts under C:/WINDOWS/Fonts, but it does not look like a portable way.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
