Subject: Re: PIL, fonts and making images

That's not good.

Well I guess it does what it is suppose to do: make it able to create
diagrams and the person who made them didn't intend them to be used as
text. Oh and I guess it's made for Windows :P
Pity. My idea seemed cool when I thought of it :-)

Oh and I did it with a detour: opened up GIMP and made my own 90x90
PNG's. In my new 'chess' game I'll convert them to smaller if needed.
It's just that with the way I tgought I'd do it I'd be able to have a
fonts dir and people could add their own and I'd automagically made
them into screens.

I'll have a look at another chess font when I am home if it's also
with others (only tried with one :-P )
