Support for different charset encodings in PcfFontFile
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Previously ``PcfFontFile`` output only bitmap PIL fonts with ISO 8859-1 encoding, even
though the PCF format supports Unicode, making it hard to work with Pillow with bitmap
fonts in languages which use different character sets.
Now it's possible to set a different charset encoding in ``PcfFontFile``'s class
constructor. By default, it generates a PIL font file with ISO 8859-1 as before. The
generated PIL font file still contains up to 256 characters, but the character set is
different depending on the selected encoding.
To use such a font with ``ImageDraw.text``, call it with a bytes object with the same
encoding as the font file.
X11 ImageGrab.grab()
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Support has been added for ``ImageGrab.grab()`` on Linux using the X server
