Problem when drawing text

[enesmao]

Hello, I may be having a problem due to my poor English, perhaps because I do not fully understand the new resources.

I'm trying to write text on a picture with pillow in Python 3.12.4. I've tried everything about the path to the font file. The font file is in the same folder as my project and when I write the following code I see 10 empty boxes:

from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont

# get an image
with Image.open("user_photo.png").convert("RGBA") as base:

    # make a blank image for the text, initialized to transparent text color
    txt = Image.new("RGBA", base.size, (255, 255, 255, 0))

    # get a font
    fnt = ImageFont.truetype("arial.ttf", 40)
    # get a drawing context
    d = ImageDraw.Draw(txt)

    # draw text, half opacity
    d.text((10, 10), "Hello", font=fnt, fill=(255, 255, 255, 128))
    # draw text, full opacity
    d.text((10, 60), "World", font=fnt, fill=(255, 255, 255, 255))

    out = Image.alpha_composite(base, txt)

    out.show()

Hello World. Arial.ttf is installed. I tried with different font, I also tried to give the full path of the font. When I ran it before, it did not give any output, error, log. Today when I tried this code I got this result.

Thank you.

If start with one of our test images

and run your code (changing 'arial.ttf' to 'Arial.ttf') on my macOS machine, I get

So I don't think there's anything wrong with your code.

What operating system are you using? Perhaps your local copy of arial.ttf is unusual?

ı try arial.ttf and Arial.ttf but nothing happens.

I tried it with a different font and it's the same.

Could you try one of our test fonts? - https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow/blob/main/Tests/fonts/FreeMono.ttf

Could you run python3 -m PIL.report and paste the output here to give us some more information?
