Hi there,

I'm trying to programatically generate text onto an existing png file as part of a very simple online tool for an NGO, and I'm looking at using PIL to do this.

Blank badge:

The copy  would be pasted in goes here:

And the rollover state would be generated as well here:
http://test.stemcel.co.uk/clients/org/org-widget/blank_badge/posted_copy_badge_rollover.png

However, the issue here is that I'm trying to do this with a Postscript font (not a Truetype .ttf one), which needs the PSDraw class, rather than the basic ImageFont class, and I was under the impression that it was designed for printing rather than output for the screen.

I'm used to using GUI apps for design related work like this or writing html and css on the front end of websites, and I'm very new to python, but I naively assumed that doing this would be simple, and it's proving not to be the case so far.

What's the best way to try doing what I'm doing?
