8.1. Font

Use the ImageDraw.font = ImageFont.truetype(font) attribute to set the draw font.

The code below sets the font for the drawing object:

drw.font = ImageFont.truetype("C:/Windows/Fonts/Segoeui.ttf", 24)

from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont

fnt = ImageFont.truetype("C:/Windows/Fonts/Segoeui.ttf", 36)
with Image.open("test_images/shapes.jpg") as im:
    drw = ImageDraw.Draw(im)
    text = "Shapes"
    drw.text((2, 0), text=text, font=fnt, fill=(0, 0, 255))
    # im.show()
    im.save("ImageDraw/ImageDraw_font1.png")

---

The code below achieves the same result.

from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont

with Image.open("test_images/shapes.jpg") as im:
    drw = ImageDraw.Draw(im)
    text = "Shapes"
    drw.font = ImageFont.truetype("C:/Windows/Fonts/Segoeui.ttf", 48)
    drw.text((2, 0), text=text, fill=(0, 0, 255))
    # im.show()
    im.save("ImageDraw/ImageDraw_font2.png")

---

The code below sets the global font for the drawing object:

ImageDraw.ImageDraw.font = ImageFont.truetype("C:/Windows/Fonts/Segoeui.ttf", 72)

from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont

#set global font
ImageDraw.ImageDraw.font = ImageFont.truetype("C:/Windows/Fonts/Segoeui.ttf", 72)
with Image.open("test_images/shapes.jpg") as im:
    drw = ImageDraw.Draw(im)
    text = "Shapes"
    drw.text((2, 0), text=text, fill=(0, 0, 255))
    # im.show()
    im.save("ImageDraw/ImageDraw_font3.png")
