Question

How can I draw text with different stroke and fill colors on images with python?

Here is some text with red stroke and gray fill.

Answer 1

PIL doesn't support this but you can fake it: Render the text four or eight times with the outline color using one pixel offsets:

x+1,y
x-1,y
x  ,y+1
x  ,y-1 

(four times version)

x+1,y+1
x  ,y+1
x-1,y+1

x+1,y
x-1,y

x+1,y-1
x  ,y-1 
x-1,y-1

(eight times version)

and then once at x,y with the fill color.
