PIL.ImageFont.truetype () Download a TrueType or OpenType font file and create a font object. This function loads a font object from the specified file and creates a font object for the font of the specified size.

This function requires the the _imagingft service.

Syntax: PIL.ImageFont.truetype (font = None, size = 10, index = 0, encoding = ”)
