Can please someone run this little script that should output characters like
���� in an image.
If it does it correctly can you tell me what OS, python version & PIL
version you have?
Or better if someone can tell me why this is not working properly on my PC?
(Win XP, PIL 1.1.6., Python 2.6...)
I don't recive any error it's just that the characters outputed in the image
are not characters... more like symbols...

# encoding:utf-8

from PIL import Image
import ImageDraw
import ImageFont


img = Image.new("RGBA",(250,40))

#----------------------------------- making the image transparent
pixdata = img.load()

for y in xrange(img.size[1]):
for x in xrange(img.size[0]):
if pixdata[x, y] == (255, 255, 255, 255):
pixdata[x, y] = (255, 255, 255, 0)

#--------------------------------- drawing text
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img)
arial = ImageFont.truetype("arial.ttf",32) # needs path to font, my font
was in the same folder as the script
string = "proba test ����"
draw.text((20,8),string ,font=arial, fill="red")

# write
img.save("img2.png", "PNG")

# I think that the PIL can cope with unicode, so add a u-prefix here:
text = u"proba test �����"
draw.text((20,8), text ,font=arial, fill="red")

Thank you for this....

Nope i gives:
SyntaxError: (unicode error) 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0x9e in position
0: unexpected code byte

and without the encoding :
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\x9e' in file C:\Documents and
Settings\Perc\My Documents\NetBeansProjects\venus_header\src\venus_header.py
on line 16, but no encoding declared; see
http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details

Make sure that

# encoding:utf-8

is the first line of your script, details and fineprint here:
