Uh sorry
I am actually struggling with pillow issue where my texts literally are small

I will share my code

Its shows it like this

Very small

Formatting code on Discord

Here's how to format Python code on Discord:

```py
print('Hello world!')
```

These are backticks, not quotes. Check this out if you can't find the backtick key.

For long code samples, you can use our pastebin.

[still pendant]

!paste

[crimson python]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in Discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the Paste! button in the bottom left, or by pressing CTRL + S. After doing that, you will be navigated to the new paste's page. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[still pendant]

use one of the above options instead for sharing code, that or a github/gitlab link (or some other major platform), it's the only way we know the links are safe

[still pendant]

i will not be clicking your link for example

[old remnant]

I mean mystbin is a Well known site

Happy now XD

[still pendant]

yes, but i think it's not all of your code, for example the class definition is missing and any imports would also be helpful

[old remnant]

M'y bad

[old remnant]

from typing import TYPE_CHECKING


from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont, ImageFilter

import io
import aiohttp
import traceback

[old remnant]

Just a normal class tho

Commands.cog class

[still pendant]

doesn't look like you import any such modules

[old remnant]

Its just discord.py

from discord import commands

[still pendant]

discord bots really isn't my area, but this problem shouldn't be so much about that anyways

[old remnant]

Yeah its just in my pillow code

[still pendant]

you are doing the font size calculations with max() to set a lower bound 👍
but you aren't using it if you end up in the IOError exception code, in that case you use the default, could that be the problem here and why you have too small font sizes?

[old remnant]

Do u mean i set the max () on it too ?

Oh wai

[old remnant]

except IOError:
                author_font = ImageFont.load_default()```

you mean this part?

@still pendant actually i don't have arial

in my folder

si yeah it uses default

which means the default shows it small

@still pendant Use load_default() only when you can't find a TTF font, but accept that the font will be small and non-scalable.

that's on their docs

it means that i need a font and their default can't be adjuted

xhere can i find arial.ttf font ?

(i don't haveit on my side)

[still pendant]

it's often somewhere on your system, i think it's a quite standard font

@old remnant anyways, i think we have found the source of the problem, maybe you don't want to fall back to using the default but instead bailout and produce an error message instead if this happens as well as log an error in your logs that will make finding what went wrong easier

this was the only code path in your code that i could find that would produce the text with the small font

@old remnant you might want to import logging and use it to produce an error log file which you can track down problems like this by using a logger to write warnings and errors in the log when you go down one of these code paths that you preferably should never hit

[old remnant]

No

My system uses one default

[still pendant]

i understand, but it is typically still somewhere on your storage medium that holds your OS so that the OS can use it for other programs as it's a very common font
which OS are you using?

[old remnant]

@still pendant i now have Arial

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1006165716854124554/1421571216065560606/quote_image.png?ex=68d984dd&is=68d8335d&hm=078a4d4f3caf390e226ae612c2abada3d9fa58224d4c33d5dd4037ab92d0cb27&

But its worse

Lol

[still pendant]

haha, i can see that

[old remnant]

Too small u have to zoom it

Now its really a code issue XD

[still pendant]

i said i can see that

[still pendant]

what size is the image that you are overlaying the text on in this example and are you scaling the image after you have put the text on it?

[old remnant]

The one that has interaction_or_message is the content of the middle of the pic

[old remnant]

400x400

overlay canvas width is calculated to be approximately 1.65 times the profile picture width (minimum 350 px)

@still pendant my code doesnt scale the image after overlaying the text; the text is drawn directly onto the canvas

[still pendant]

okay, just wanted to make sure it wasn't a huge image that got scaled down after the text was overlayed on the image and could cause the text to appear smaller then when it was rendered on the image

[old remnant]

Nah

Any clue thi

Im clueless

@still pendant

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1006165716854124554/1421577923672146061/quote_image.png?ex=68d98b1c&is=68d8399c&hm=42d30ca51175cfc98a37ef0764c21b6ebf9ce6b4c4ac437c91df79d682a3699b&

However there is still small stuff

[still pendant]

yeah, i see it, very small out on the lower right edge

[old remnant]

Yeah idk why

[still pendant]

i'm surprised you didn't employ the same kind of logic here with max() to set the minimum limit as you did with for example the font size

if text_area_width < 350: text_area_width = 350

[old remnant]

where is this?

god the code is so long

[old remnant]

text_area_width = int(original_pfp_w * 1.65)
            if text_area_width < 350: text_area_width = 350
            if original_pfp_w > 400 and text_area_width < original_pfp_w * 0.85:
                text_area_width = int(original_pfp_w * 0.85)

[still pendant]

yeah, i was just a bit surprised that you didn't use

text_area_width = max(text_area_width, 350)
```there too, similar to what you do with font sizes

[old remnant]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1006165716854124554/1421581155018346526/quote_image.png?ex=68d98e1f&is=68d83c9f&hm=5c5857487796b97836418b0e97964828e6630c156ec5a1e75517e3fff5265910&

That's not your code

But uhh

It was just path issue when it was showing small

Texts

[still pendant]

no, i know it's not my code

but it looks like you fixed it now 👍

[old remnant]

Kind of

[old remnant]

Whats the size to make them small and readable

Not so small

[still pendant]

you probably need to try different font sizes until you are happy with the result

this looks like you are overwriting the same variable quite a few times and could probably be substantially simplified

            text_area_width = int(original_pfp_w * 1.65)
            if text_area_width < 350: text_area_width = 350
            if original_pfp_w > 400 and text_area_width < original_pfp_w * 0.85:
                text_area_width = int(original_pfp_w * 0.85)

[old remnant]

That wasn't your Snippet*

Because it sounds rude lol

[old remnant]

Oh

[still pendant]

no, i understand that it wasn't my little snippet of code that solved it
it wasn't to fix the font size that i commended on that code
it was just an unrelated comment just like the one above

[old remnant]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1006165716854124554/1421592318590582835/quote_image.png?ex=68d99884&is=68d84704&hm=7fa7d40a6c48a257b4742db09b0684ed6502911f4871fae0df561f89178e0e99&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=1872&height=707

how do i uhhhhh deal with this

[still pendant]

what is your expected result?
i'm guessing you don't want the text to go outside of certain bounds, right?

[old remnant]

yes

[old remnant]

yes

@still pendant help

it still doesn't work even with this

def get_fitting_font(self, text, max_width, max_height, font_path="database/arial.ttf", max_font_size=40, min_font_size=8):
        font_size = max_font_size
        while font_size >= min_font_size:
            try:
                font = ImageFont.truetype(font_path, font_size)
            except IOError:
                font = ImageFont.load_default()
                break
            text_bbox = font.getbbox(text)
            text_width = text_bbox[2] - text_bbox[0]
            text_height = text_bbox[3] - text_bbox[1]
            if text_width <= max_width and text_height <= max_height:
                return font
            font_size -= 1
        try:
            return ImageFont.truetype(font_path, min_font_size)
        except IOError:
            return ImageFont.load_default()```

[old remnant]

Um

[still pendant]

sorry, i had to go afk for a while, back now
