unicode_text = u"Arial Font, size 28px" | |
font = ImageFont.truetype("/Library/Fonts/Arial.ttf", 28, encoding="unic") | |
# get the line size | |
text_width, text_height = font.getsize(unicode_text) | |
# create a blank canvas with extra space between lines | |
canvas = Image.new('RGB', (text_width + 10, text_height + 10), "orange") | |
# draw the text onto the text canvas, and use blue as the text color | |
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(canvas) | |
draw.text((5,5), unicode_text, 'blue', font) | |
