[Image-SIG] Unable to draw compound character of a kannada lang over an image.

[Laura & Edward Cannon]

I noticed that you said font=font2, but have not declared font2, it
should be font=font. Besides that I messed around a bit with your code
and can't get it to work, but I don't have fonts with the right
glyphs, so I just get boxes. I assume that this font renders correctly
elsewhere. If that is the case, there might be something lacking in
ImageFont's truetype impementation.
