Hi.
My name is Ariel Goldstien I work at The Hebrew university laboratory.
I am trying to write a Hebrew string to a BMP. and I keep getting "The
_imaging C module is not installed" despite the fact that I have managed to
import _imaging.
this is the code:
import Image
import ImageDraw
import ImageFont
import _imaging

a=u'1אריאל' #u'..' converts to Unicode
font = ImageFont.truetype('c:/mriam.ttf',24) #standard Hebrew font, this
line throws the error
im=Image.new('RGB',(200,200),(100,100,100))
d=ImageDraw.Draw(im)
d.text((0,0),a)
im.show()
I have spent more than 3 dayes trying to figure it out. any help would be
very appriciated
