How to render non-anti-aliased font to internal image?

What is the most speedy way and accurate to render non-anti-aliased fonts (e.开发者_如何学编程g. ttf fonts) using Python to an internal image (e.g. to a PIL.Image, i.e. I don't need to display it)? I say accurate because I tried it with pygame a while back and the rendered fonts at the size I gave it didn't match what windows rendered in Word or Paint.

Python Imaging Library (PIL) can render text to an image--I'm not aware of it being inaccurate, but I haven't fully tested it yet...

Example from a pre-existing question:

from PIL import Image
from PIL import ImageFont, ImageDraw

image = Image.new("RGBA", (288,432), (255,255,255))
usr_font = ImageFont.truetype("resources/HelveticaNeueLight.ttf", 25)
d_usr = ImageDraw.Draw(image)
d_usr.fontmode = "1" # this apparently sets (anti)aliasing.  See link below.
d_usr.text((105,280), "MYTEXT",(0,0,0), font=usr_font)

Ahh this is how it's done... should render the same as windows at is uses its algorithm.
