         Does this suit your needs? from PIL import Image, ImageFont
font = ImageFont.truetype("Tests/fonts/FreeMono.ttf", size=48)
left, top, right, bottom = font.getbbox("Quick")
width, height = right - left, bottom - top
print(width, height)It prints a height of 35, which matches the height you expect from from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont
font = ImageFont.truetype("Tests/fonts/FreeMono.ttf", size=48)
im = Image.new("RGB", (150, 50))
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(im)
draw.text((0, 0), "Quick", font=font)
im.save("out.png") |
