This is some code I have that works:

########################3

buttonList = {}
buttonList['test1.gif'] = 'Test 1'
buttonList['test2.gif'] = 'Test 2'

import ImageDraw, ImageFont
import Image

# Set font
arial = 
ImageFont.load('C:/root/pythonScripts/PILTest/phontz/Verdana_12_100.pil')

im = Image.open("C:/root/pythonScripts/PILTest/redButton.gif")

width, height = im.size
middle = width/2

for fileName, theText in buttonList.items():

     aCopy = im.copy()

     # render the text
     draw = ImageDraw.Draw(aCopy)
     draw.setfont(arial)
     draw.setink(255)

     textWidth, textHeight = draw.textsize(theText)
     textMiddle = textWidth/2

     fontPlacement = middle - textMiddle
     print textWidth

     draw.text((fontPlacement, -3), theText)
     aCopy.save('C:/root/pythonScripts/PILTest/' + fileName)
