Hi, where can I download freetype (>= 2.1.7)? I need it to use
matplotlib. I have search a lot but still can not find it. Thanks!

Type 'freetype' in the google search form, and click the "I'm Feeling
Lucky" button. If that doesn't work for some reason, go to
freetype.org.
I've been there. All the code is in C/C++, don't I need it in python?
I will explore the software. I dismissed this because there was no
python. I am knew to all of this. Thanks for your reply.

matplotlib has extension modules that wrap the C library. You will need to
install libfreetype, then build matplotlib.

The c stuff (freetype) is what you need (it gets installed as a
library that can be used by python or any other software entity that
needs its functionality). It may seem a little weird, but lots of
the stuff you call from python is written in c. More than likely,
your python interpreter is also written in c :-)

Alternatively use the Python Imaging Library (PIL), which I believe
includes freetype support.

The OP seems to be trying to build matplotlib, which actually does require the
FreeType library. The PIL, lovely though it is, is not a substitute.

Hi
I've spent a good majority of my day trying to figure out how to have
PIL 1.1.5 working on my OSX 10.3.9_PPC machine. I'm still stuck and I
have not gotten anywhere. Could somebody please help me...
I've scoured all the documentation, google, and mailing lists to no

10.3.9, or a python paths problem.

I'm working on a project that would benefit very much from Python

Interestingly, it seems like there have been lots of attempts at doing
this.

I'm experiencing very bad character spacing / anti-aliasing with a PHP

$ch_white = ImageColorAllocate($ih, 255,255,255);
