Hi,
I'm using PIL to dynamically create graphical text headers for my website,
using a truetype font. Testing this at home on my Windows box works fine. When
I upload it to the Linux server, the fonts appear subtly different - the size
of the overall image isn't quite right, and the text appears either squashed or
spaced wrongly.
Here's the relevant code:
imf = ImageFont.truetype(fontfile, int(fontsize))
size = imf.getsize(header)
im = Image.new("RGB", size, "white")
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(im)
draw.text((0, 0), header, font=imf, fill=colour)
With fontfile and fontsize set to the relevant values, and using sample text
"Randomtext", this produces an image of size 227x44 on Windows and 229x44 on
Linux - doesn't sound like much, but the difference is clearly noticeable (and
the designer will kill me). Both machines are running Python 2.4.2 and PIL
1.1.5.
Any ideas, anyone?
