    [PIL] quake like multicoloured text

    I'm wondering how I could render text with PIL in which different
    parts of the text are different characters. This is for a game stats
    script where names are written like:
    ^1Red ^2Green ^3Yellow, etc.
    The problem is that I currently use text in the ImageDraw module but
    the only way I can think of rendering text is by rendering each bit of
    text in a separate colour.

    Example:

    draw.text((0,0) ,"Red", fill="red")
    draw.text((30,0 ),"Green", fill="green")
    draw.text((60,0 ),"Yellow", fill="green")

    except that I'm not sure how much spacing there is between each
    coloured bit of text(30px is assumed in the example)...Woul d there be
    an alternate method of doing this?

    Thanks =)

      Oops, I meant, "I'm wondering how I could render text with PIL in
      which different
      parts of the text are different *colours*."

          You could use the draw.textsize method to measure how much space will take
          each part...
