I've actually managed to fix my code. I'm amazed! I made a function that
returns width & height from the text & font:
def get_hw( text, font ):
left, top, right, bottom = font.getbbox( text )
width = right - left
height = bottom - top
return width, height
So, e.g.,
self.title_width, self.title_height =
self.draw.textsize(self.title, font=self.label_font)
becomes
self.title_width, self.title_height = self.get_hw( self.title,
self.label_font )
Will be sorting out my own GitHub maybe tomorrow and testing it on a fresh
Debian 13 installation.
The following were the resources that helped me do that:
