I've got kind of an odd problem: I need to be able to display text at an angle. I just spent the past %(FAR_TOO_MANY)s hours trying to find a way to get at FreeType's support from Python, but I'm really having no luck. The best I found was an interface to libgd, but I couldn't figure out a way to extract the data to pygame or numpy efficiently.
Anybody got a suggestion for a way to do this? I assume that render->rotate doesn't give very good quality. I was thinking maybe render (2x size)->rotate->scale, but I don't know how much better that's likely to be. -FM
