I haved used SWIG to wrap the FreeType library, a TrueType font rendering engine. It can be used to render text onto a 2-color bitmap or anti-aliased text onto a 256-grayscale pixmap. These readily convert to PIL Images. Information on FreeType is on their site http://www.freetype.org Documentation on PyFT is available on http://starship.python.net/crew/kernr/PyFT.html PyFT is located here: http://starship.python.net/crew/kernr/Projects.html Robert Kern <P><A HREF="http://starship.python.net/crew/kernr/Projects.html">PyFT 0.5</A> - Wrappers for the FreeType library for rendering TrueType fonts.
