Bold and italic typefaces are usually separate designs from the regular version, so TrueType/OpenType fonts usually consist of a number of separate font files. PIL has no support for synthetic font manipulations (and there's nothing built in to FreeType either, even if you can simulate some styles using low-level outline transforms). /F ___ Image-SIG maillist - Image-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/image-sig
