It seems you have an somewhat old version of PIL installed that doesn't
support truetype fonts. As an alternative you can download some .pil
fonts from [1].

Then change line +-126 in nospam.py:
from:
font = ImageFont.truetype(_fontPath, _fontSize)
to:
font = ImageFont.load("/path/to/pilfonts/lubB10.pil")

if that doesn't work try:
import PIL.ImageFont
font = PIL.ImageFont.load("/path/to/pilfonts/lubB10.pil")

Or ask your hoster to upgrade to a recent PIL version.
