Pure python cross-platform font renderer?
Question
I'm looking for a pure Python font renderer. I don't need it to render to anything special, I just need the pixel colors/alpha. I'm using PIL right now, but I am not sure if it needs to hook into any system libraries that may not be installed.
Pyglet manages this, somehow, but I wasn't able to determine the relevant code. I am working on a gui for pyglet, so if I could use this, that would probably be even better.

Pyglet uses FreeType where available. I'd stick with that, even though it's not pure Python.

ReportLab can render to pixmaps:

probably a bit heavyweight for your needs though.
