Inconsistent Auto Sizing with Caption
Posted: 2015-10-23T07:43:01-07:00
I'm having some trouble getting consistent results using the caption function. I'm attempting to create a simple image with a quote and have it auto wrap and auto size to fill the size of the image. It appears that when one of the lines of the caption are a certain length, the auto sizing of the text does not compute properly.
In the test python script below, I have it creating an image of the original version of a quote that's having the problem (I have several other examples also). It then creates an image of the original quote, but with a word removed to show that the problem goes away. It then creates an image of the original quote, but with an extra word added to show that the problem goes away then also. Below the script, you can see the resulting images that get created by that script.
If you'd like to reproduce, the font I'm using is called "Mom's Typewriter". You can install it by searching for Mom«t__.ttf or grab it from here: http://www.dafont.com/moms-typewriter.font
Thanks kindly!

This is the original quote that does not fill the image.

This is the original quote, but with the word "our" removed before "generation". This will mostly fill the image properly.

This is the original quote, but with the word "this" added before "our generation". This will mostly fill the image properly.
