[Image-SIG] write text on a picture (PIL fonts)

[kevin@cazabon.com]

I think his major concern is copyright... not all the fonts in all those
packages are "free", and unless you own the right to use them in some other
format it is not legal for you to use them in PIL.

Now, the chances of it becomming an issue are small, but I'm sure Fred needs
to be on the safe side of that, right?  :)

Kevin.
