title: How to change font size using the Python ImageDraw Library
body: <p>I am trying to change the font size using python's ImageDraw library. </p>
  
  <p>You can do something like <a href="http://infohost.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/pil/image-font.html" rel="noreferrer">this</a>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>fontPath = "/usr/share/fonts/dejavu-lgc/DejaVuLGCSansCondensed-Bold.ttf"
  sans16  =  ImageFont.truetype ( fontPath, 16 )
  
  im  =  Image.new ( "RGB", (200,50), "#ddd" )
  draw  =  ImageDraw.Draw ( im )
  draw.text ( (10,10), "Run awayyyy!", font=sans16, fill="red" )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is that I don't want to specify a font. I want to use the default font and just change the size of the font. This seems to me that it <em>should</em> be simple, but I can't find documentation on how to do this.</p>
