[Image-SIG] PIL method for loading TrueType/OpenType fonts from font names?

[Pascal Charbonneau]

One thing that is definately missing from the PIL ImageFont module is a 
way to load fonts by font names. I have not found any easy way to 
associate the file name (needed to load a TrueType font in PIL) with the 
actual font typeface name.

i.e "Times New Roman Bold (TrueType)" = "TIMESDB.TTF"

Every standard "font" dialog lets the user choose a Typeface, Point 
Size, etc and associating them to be used with PIL seems to be an issue. 
Unless I am being dumb and havent found the obvious easy solution :)

Anyone has encountered this issue and can suggest a solution?

Thanks in advance
