Workaround for AttributeError: 'FreeTypeFont' object has no attribute 'getsize' #48

Open netmilk opened 8 months ago

The current version doesn't work. I'm no python expert at all, but downgrading Pillow worked for me as a workaround:

pip3 install Pillow==9.5.0

This is the error backtrace:

In the easiest case, just remove the corresponding line. AFAIK the corresponding linesize variable is unused anyway. You are left with the error from #46 afterwards, which breaks compatibility with Pillow >= 10 as well.
