loading font for japan symbols in python

To load font for Japanese symbols, you need to install a font that contains the necessary glyphs for Japanese characters.

Here are the steps to load a font for Japanese symbols in Python using the Pillow library:

  1. Install the necessary library:

    main.py
    pip install pillow
    
    19 chars
    2 lines
  2. Import the necessary modules:

    main.py
    from PIL import ImageFont
    from PIL import ImageDraw
    from PIL import Image
    
    74 chars
    4 lines
  3. Load the font file that contains the Japanese characters:

    main.py
    font_path = "path/to/font_file.ttf"   # replace with the actual path to the font file
    font = ImageFont.truetype(font_path, size=24)   # adjust the size as needed
    
    162 chars
    3 lines
  4. Create a new image:

    main.py
    img = Image.new("RGB", (100, 100), (255, 255, 255))
    
    52 chars
    2 lines
  5. Draw Japanese characters using the loaded font:

    main.py
    draw = ImageDraw.Draw(img)
    draw.text((10, 10), "こんにちは世界", font=font, fill=(0, 0, 0))   # replace the text with the desired Japanese characters
    
    143 chars
    3 lines
  6. Save the image:

    main.py
    img.save("output.png")
    
    23 chars
    2 lines

This code will load the font file and use it to draw the Japanese characters on a new image. The resulting image will be saved as "output.png" in the current directory.
