[Image-SIG] How to get TrueType support working?

[Phil Shipman]

I need TrueType support for a program that uses PIL. I installed Python
fresh to my new laptop, then PIL, but it said no support for TrueType.

I did a clean, then modified setup.py and pointed it at
/usr/lib/girepository-1.0/freetype2-2.0.typelib, but got a syntax error
when I ran the script again.

So I compiled freetype2 from source, hoping it would be installed into a
directory that setup.py would find.

Did a clean, then ran setup.py, "no support" for truetype.

What's next?

Running Ubuntu 12.04
