If you try to use truetype font or jpeg library on MacOSX wih Python + PIL, it complains. Somehow those libraries are missing in mac now (it was working in windows). Here is how to install:

1. Download those component see
   http://wiki.python.org/moin/MacPython/UniversalLibrariesAndExtensions
   

   also check:<br />http://freetype.sourceforge.net<br />http://www.ijg.org/files/jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz

2. build them
3. ./configure
4. make
5. sudo make install
6. Get PIL from http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/
7. sudo python setup.py install

Make sure you get those messages

— TKINTER support ok
— JPEG support ok
— ZLIB (PNG/ZIP) support ok
— FREETYPE2 support ok

mac, python
