I noticed in the kernel https://www.kaggle.com/kaushal2896/bengali-graphemes-starter-eda-multi-output-cnn, that the graphemes aren't displaying properly using PIL. For example জ্জ্ব is displayed as:
\n\n
This is because PIL doesn't know how to combine the unicode pieces of Abugida scripts to form a coherent character, so it just displays them left to right.
\n\nTo fix this problem, you need to install libraqm. Since this library is a pain to install, here is the following code that I found worked for me on kernel:
\n\n\n!apt-get install -y libfreetype6-dev libharfbuzz-dev libfribidi-dev gtk-doc-tools\n!wget -O raqm-0.7.0.tar.gz https://raw.githubusercontent.com/python-pillow/pillow-depends/master/raqm-0.7.0.tar.gz\n!tar -xzvf /kaggle/working/raqm-0.7.0.tar.gz\n!cd /kaggle/working/raqm-0.7.0/ && ./configure --prefix=/usr && make -j4 && make -j4 install\n
then using the code from the kernel:
\n\n```\nimport PIL.Image as Image, PIL.ImageDraw as ImageDraw, PIL.ImageFont as ImageFont
\n\nHEIGHT = 236\nWIDTH = 236
\n\ndef image_from_char(char):\n image = Image.new('RGB', (WIDTH, HEIGHT))\n draw = ImageDraw.Draw(image)\n myfont = ImageFont.truetype('/kaggle/input/kalpurush-fonts/kalpurush-2.ttf', 120)\n w, h = draw.textsize(char, font=myfont)\n draw.text(((WIDTH - w) / 2,(HEIGHT - h) / 3), char, font=myfont)
\n\nreturn image\n```
\n\nWe get the following output:
