To follow up on myself, I've just tested it with the same ttf file on windows, os x and linux. (made an image in font size 40 with 'The quick brown fox....' as text line) The resulting image files were byte-identical between os x and linux but the windows ones were slightly different (just by a few bytes). The text in the image itself looked identical though to the ones from the other systems (I couldn't see any difference by looking at it) so I presume the difference is in the image compression or file header metadata. PIL's font rendering seems to produce identical results across platforms and if you see a difference it must be caused by a difference in typeface file (or perhaps a different PIL/freetype version on the platform).
