Fredrik, I dropped off the Internet (I have a fragile ISP :( ) and did not get your mail until a moment ago. Thanks for looking at this.
I am not at all informed about how patches get used and, more importantly, how they make their way into the final repos used by distros. Is there any way to get _imagingft.c fixed so that old users worldwide get an update, or will this fix only come out in new versions of PIL from this point on? I ask because I am facing a choice of 1) just waiting and using my short time to code my app then relying on the fix being "out there", or 2) Trying to grok and compile PIL and then house it in a sub-directory of my app and distribute it as a "module" within my app. Thanks for the help! \d PS: Not to muddy the waters, but PIL is the only effective FT2 interface for Python and I was wondering if it would be possible to expose more meta information about fonts than family and style? There are other snippets of info in there like number of faces, copyright, foundry and so forth. Would it be possible to add these too? _______________________________________________ Image-SIG maillist - Image-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/image-sig
