I've had the same problems. What worked for me was to use aggdraw instead of PIL's Draw class. http://effbot.org/zone/aggdraw-index.htm Mitja -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

PIL cutting off letters
I'm using PIL (Python Imaging Library) to generate button images. They consist of a left end image, a middle, repeating image and a right side image anyway, that's not important I'm using a TTF font for the text of the button (Verdana.TTF) and it keeps cutting the bottom part of the the g's q's and y's off. Here's the important parts of my code (options contains command-line params): im = Image.new(RGB,(1,1)) font = ImageFont.truetype(options.font,options.fontsize) draw = ImageDraw.Draw(im) textsize = draw.textsize(options.text, font=font) im = im.resize( (totalwidth, maxheight) ) draw = ImageDraw.Draw(im) thecolor = rgb(0,0,0) x = (totalwidth - textsize[0]) / 2 y = (maxheight - textsize[1]) / 2 + options.offsetY draw.text((x, y), options.text, font=font, fill=thecolor ) im.save(savefile, quality=100) If I increase the font-size to larger than about 16, the tails appear... any clue as to why this happens or what I can do to fix it? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
