This is an issue I already asked about and several got answers but the problem remained.
when I try to write in hebrew to an image using Image module I get instead of the hebrew lettring some other (ascii??) lettering. if I convert to unicode or ascii I get an error that it doesn't support. I got here a reference to a code that does what I want in chinese:

```
import sys

import Imag

import ImageDraw

import ImageFont

import _imaging

txt = '你好,世界!'

font = ImageFont.truetype('c:/test/simsun.ttc',24)

im = Image.new("RGBA",(300,200),(0,0,0))

draw = ImageDraw.Draw(im)

#draw.text( (0,50), u'你好,世界!', font=font)

draw.text( (0,50), unicode(txt,'UTF-8'), font=font)

```

but then I get an error:ImportError: 

> 
> The \_imagingft C module is not installed.
>

the same goes when I try to use standrad hebrew font 'arial.ttf' (with hebrew string ofcourse). as you can see I have imported \_imaging succsefuly so the problem doesn't lay there as suggested by effbot.org.

it seem that the problem is with the Imagefont.truetype(...). 

any help will be very appriciated
