piddle

drawString and stringWidth don't support non-ASCII characters. The
pilfonts apparently contain everything from ISO-Latin-1, but the
metrics.dat file doesn't. Would it be possible to extend it? How is
it generated anyway?

sample program:

import piddlePIL

canvas = piddlePIL.PILCanvas(size = (100, 100))
canvas.drawString("\0344", 40, 40) # draw an a umlaut
(ä)
canvas.save("ppm")

exception:

Traceback (innermost last):
File "bug-nonascii.py", line 4, in ?
canvas.drawString("\0344", 40, 40) # draw an a umlaut
(ä)
