Fonts aliasing in Pillow
Question: I'm using Pillow 3.1.1 image library and Python 3.5.1.

I'm trying to use Pillow for drawing fonts on images. But results looks
absolutely ugly and unacceptable.

1st example: looks like font not antialiased. But docs contains absolutely
nothing on aliasing fonts. I've tried to make some changes (e.g. set
`fonttype`), but texts still looks terrible. [1st
example](http://i.stack.imgur.com/e8vC2.png)

And second example. Sometimes characters just overlay each other. And I don't
have any idea how it could be fixed. [2nd
example](http://i.stack.imgur.com/f7cuq.png)

I'm so frustrated with my experience. Is it possible to fix aliasing problem
in Pillow or I should look to ImageMagick side?

Aliasing problem is my main concern, I cannot use fonts rendered such way.

Thanks for your attention!

Code example:

    
    
    from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont
    
    DEFAULT_OFFSET = (100, 160, )
    
    
    def draw_text(image, text):
        base = Image.open(image).convert('RGBA')
    
        txt_image = Image.new('RGBA', base.size, (255, 255, 255, 0))
    
        ttf = get_font()
        fnt = ImageFont.truetype(ttf, 40)
        d = ImageDraw.Draw(txt_image)
    
        # just return some string in format 'blah-blah\nblah-blah'
        multiline = generate_multiline(txt_image, text)
    
        d.multiline_text(DEFAULT_OFFSET, multiline, align='left', font=fnt, fill=(40, 40, 40, 200))
    
        out = Image.alpha_composite(base, txt_image)
    
        out.show()
    


Answer: Accordingly to [martineau](http://stackoverflow.com/users/355230/martineau)
comment, Pillow doesn't support font anti-aliasing.
