thanks for the idea, I hadn't

Python 2.4 (#3, Jan  8 2005, 17:13:28)

False

I have PIL 1.1.5 and manage to use TTF Font from there
I have no idea how to set this ft_get_face thing, it seems to rely on 
pdfmetrics _fonts attribute (which is set)
I tried to tweak the path for lib and include in setup.py with no success
I'm quite lost
