import ImageFont, ImageDraw

Indu,
thanks for the valuable guidance. I revised the program as per yours. when run in pythonIDLE error message dispalyed as follow:  Also attached copy of image.py for recheck up at your end.Since I am using windows, name of the font has been changed to kannada 'Tunga" This is for your information.
IDLE 2.6.4      ==== No Subprocess ====
>>>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\Acer\Desktop\image.py", line 5, in <module>

[Indu s]

Can you please check whether you have installed python Imaging Library.

just run python from command prompt and check the import ImageFont whether its giving error .

[Indu s]

#!/usr/local/bin/python please change this to the path in windows

[74yrs old]

Indu,
as suggested correction made. also attached screenshot about search of image font.

[Nandeep Mali]

You have written:

ImportImageFont,ImageDraw

Please change it to:

import ImageFont, ImageDraw

Please note the spaces and the comma. 'import' and 'ImageFont' and
'ImageDraw' are different words.

[Indu s]

pls  check the spacings in

import ImageFont,ImageDraw

from PIL import Image

it seems your python executable path is not correct in screenshot
C:/Python2.6 and in the code you have written as python26

just copy the correct path of your python exe and check

[74yrs old]

please attached screenshot wherein error message displayed.

[Indu s]

Just check the path of your font file
and the extension of fontfile Tunga.ttf

[74yrs old]

Indu,
Verified with folder "fonts" of windows under c:\  it isTunga .ttf (true type)
With Best of Luck,
-sriranga(77yrsold)

[Indu s]

Then pls set Imagefont as

# use a truetype font

font= ImageFont.truetype("C:\windows\fonts\Tunga.ttf",50)

and check.hope itll work now

[74yrs old]

Indu,

I copied yours and pasted into original py file and again run but error displayed as follow:

>>
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "C:\Documents and Settings\Acer\Desktop\image.py", line 15, in <module>

    font= ImageFont.truetype("C:\windows\fonts\Tunga.ttf",50)

    return FreeTypeFont(filename, size, index, encoding)

    self.font = _imagingft.getfont(file, size, index, encoding)
IOError: cannot open resource
>>> whether encoding should be mentioned as utf-8 after 50, ?
With Best Wishes,
-sriranga(77yrsold)

[Indu s]

    font= ImageFont.truetype("C:\

windows\fonts\Tunga.ttf",50,encoding='utf-8' )

and also is the path like this

C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\Tunga.ttf

check whether the path for ttf file is correct or not..

[74yrs old]

path is perfectly correct. tried to run but displayed message as follow:
>>>

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Documents and Settings\Acer\Desktop\image.py", line 15, in <module>

    font= ImageFont.truetype("C:\WINDOWS\fonts\Tunga.ttf",50,encoding='utf-8' )

[74yrs old]

thanks for the valuable guidance. noted. tested but still problem for windows.

[Indu s]

Can you please locate the tunga.ttf and send screenshot

[74yrs old]

Indu,
as desired by you attached screenshot of  Kannada ttf font

[Indu s]

As per the image you have send it is in C:\

WINDOWS\Fonts\Tunga.ttf.Before It was not able to locate the ttf file .

So pls set it as # use a truetype font
font= ImageFont.truetype("C:\

WINDOWS\Fonts\Tunga.ttf",50) and it will work.

[74yrs old]

Indu,
As suggested by you again corrected - vide screenshot attached. similar error message displayed. This time I removed encoding='utf-8' after 50, But still same problem. please check in your ubuntu linux using kannada fonts. - let us see what will happen.Then only we can pinpoint where mistake happens.
With Best Wishes,
-sriranga(77yrsold)

[74yrs old]

In case, if  it works in ubuntu or Fedora-11, then copy yours working py file forward to me after duly corrected to suit windows platform.
.

[74yrs old]

_imagingft.getfont(file, size, index, encoding)

It appears the following particulars should be indicated as follows:
file = "C:\Windows\Fonts\Tunga.ttf"  ok
size= 50  is it correct?
index= could not understand.
encoding= encoding='utf-8'   ok?

Kindly re-examine the issue based on above points?.

[Indu s]

Pls  see the attached file . I dont have windows installed here.I will check with some others once it is available.

[74yrs old]

Indu,
Congratulations, Revised py works well after changed to "C:\Windows\Fonts\Tunga.ttf.50) in place of linux folder name  and also changed text2 to text1 + text 2 to text1  now correctly displayed as "ದೂ".
Myearlier I had stated that combination consonant + dependent vowels failed - font by copy and paste into IDLE will not work.  Unable to type in IDLE using barahaIME tool.
With best of Luck,
