[Image-SIG] Strange Truetype ImageFont rendering behavior

[Oliver Weichhold]

The code snippet below produces the following two result images on my
system:
Arial:

TrajanPro-Bold:

I am totally puzzled as to why the font size is kind of applied horizontally
for Trajan Bold. I've produced the images on a freshly installed Windows XP
64 with Python 2.61 + PIL 1.1.6.

Any suggestions what's going on here?

from PIL import Image, ImageOps
from PIL import ImageFont, ImageDraw

arial = ImageFont.truetype("Arial.ttf", 24)
trajan = ImageFont.truetype("TrajanPro-Bold.otf", 24)

def render_msg(font, filename):
im = Image.new("RGB", (200,50), "#ddd")
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(im)
draw.text((10,10), "Run awayyyy!", font=font, fill="red")
im.save(filename)

render_msg(arial, 'f1.jpg')
render_msg(trajan, 'f2.jpg')
