Is anyone aware of (a fix for) problems I'm having getting PIL 1.1.5 to
create bitmaps using TrueType and openType fonts? When I create an image
using the standard PIL fonts everything seems fine, but when I use
ImageFont.truet ype(<font-file>, <size>) no text is drawn.
setup.py reports from debug print statements that it's finding freetype21.
The same code using (Fredrik's pre-built binary) on Windows runs
correctly and produces correct images.
Cygwin runs Python 2.4.1, Windows runs 2.4. Any light on this mystery
gratefully received.
regards
Steve

Could PIL have been compiled without freetype support perhaps?

Don't think so, as I don't see any errors in the build, and the closing
summary from "python setup.py build" reads
--------------------------------------------------------------------
PIL 1.1.5 BUILD SUMMARY
--------------------------------------------------------------------
version 1.1.5
platform cygwin 2.4.1 (#1, May 27 2005, 18:02:40)
[GCC 3.3.3 (cygwin special)]
--------------------------------------------------------------------
--- TKINTER support ok
--- JPEG support ok
--- ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support ok
--- FREETYPE2 support ok
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Strangely enough all the tests pass, too!

Hello,
Nothing relevant found on Google for this, so I'm asking here. I wrote
a short script that launches several threads (parallel download using
urllib.urlretrieve in this case). Sometimes when I launch my script
under Cygwin, I get strange error messages like:
2 python 1912 Winmain: Cannot register window class
Sometimes all of the threads run OK, otherwise after the "correct"

I write python command-line programs under Win2k, and I use the bash shell
from Cygwin. I cannot use Cygwin's python package because of a binary
module which has to be compiled with Visual C 6.
My scripts start with a '#!/usr/bin/env python' shebang, as God intended.
Now, I assume I can make cmd.exe run foo.py by asociating *.py with the
python interpreter.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
