[Image-SIG] fonts for use with PIL

experimenting a draw.text (from ImageDraw) I ran into the run-time error,
concerning fonts:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#60>", line 1, in ?
    draw.text((10,30),'mon premier essai PIL',fill=128)
  File "d:\Python21\lib\PIL\ImageDraw.py", line 155, in text
    font = self.getfont()
  File "d:\Python21\lib\PIL\ImageDraw.py", line 61, in getfont
    self.font = ImageFont.load_path("BDF/courR14.pil")
  File "d:\Python21\lib\PIL\ImageFont.py", line 136, in load_path
    raise IOError, "cannot find font file"
I installed PIL from the windows install kit (from Pythonware). I have never
seen any BDF directory.

I am sure this is a simple installation bug on my part, since I am new to
PIL and its tricks. Could anyone help me?
