Re: PIL font encoding

Laszlo Nagy wrote:
def getfnt(size):
return ImageFont.truet ype("cartoon.tt f",size,encodin g='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.truet ype("cartoon.tt f",size,encodin g='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.tt f" 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
