def getfnt(size):
return ImageFont.truetype("cartoon.ttf",size,encoding='unic')
Using the above function, I cannot draw special german characters. E.g.
u'L\xfctgendorf'
It will print "Lutgendorf" instead of "Lütgendorf". Much more
interesting is that I can also do this:
def getfnt(size):
return
ImageFont.truetype("cartoon.ttf",size,encoding='put_somethin_here_it_has_no_effect
WHAT?????? ')
Same results. Shouldn't the truetype constructor raise an exception if
the encoding is invalid and/or not available with the selected font?
BTW my "cartoon.ttf" font is able to print "Lütgendorf". I have tested
it from GIMP. So I'm 100% sure that the problem is with PIL.
Thank you,
Laszlo
