effbot has an "experimental" _imagingft.pyd available at:
http://effbot.org/pil/index.htm .

Haven't tried them myself, but I'd be interested to know how you get on with
them as I'm considering having a play with them...

effbot also has a pilfonts.zip containing PIL versions of the basic X11
fonts; and I found PIL versions of some Windows fonts at
http://www.cazabon.com/python/ .
