[Py2exe-users] pil & font compile problem

[Alec B. <wry...@gm...>]

I'm trying to compile a script that uses a module (VideoCapture.py) that
uses a PIL font, and after compiling (both with PY2EXE and Pyinstaller) I
get an error "cannot find font file".

The offending line is:

self.normalfont =3D ImageFont.load_path('helvetica-10.pil')
self.boldfont =3D ImageFont.load_path('helvB08.pil')

I've confirmed that both fonts exist, and the script works fine when
uncompiled.

I tried putting the font files in the same directory as the compiled EXE,
but no improvement.

Any help humungously appreciated.
