HELP with PIL and grainy text

I could really use some help. Please take a look at the following
image:

http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/1346/grainynn3.png

As you can see, the text in the image is fairly grainy. To get to
that point, I converted an ArialBold TTF to a BDF using otf2bdf
(http://crl.nmsu.edu/~mleisher/ttf2bdf.html) and then I used pilfont
utility (http://www.pythonware.com/library/pi...ok/pilfont.htm)
to convert the file into a .PIL and .PBM file. I'd expect the font to
be smooth, but no such luck.

Any idea what could be happening here?

For what it's worth, I'm using a Mac (OSX 10.5.4). Here is the PIL
code as well:
>import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont
font = ImageFont.load( "Arial.pil" )
im = Image.open("../images/image.png")
dr = ImageDraw.Draw( im)
dr.text((79,34 ), "Successful ly used the Python Image Library", font=font)
im.save("../images/grainy.png", "PNG")

I'm using a bundled version of GD: 2.0.23 compatible. When using the function imagettftext() with a negative color to get a aliased text, the text gets grainy. What could be wrong? I've tried several ttf fonts, with the same result. Leif

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: 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,...

Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
