Perfect Bangla/Bengali text rendering on images/video with correct vowel positioning and joint letter

Project description

Bangla Text Renderer

Perfect Bangla/Bengali text rendering on images with correct vowel positioning and joint letter handling.

Problem

When using PIL/Pillow to render Bangla text on images, vowel marks (কার) like ি, ে, ৈ often appear in the wrong position - one letter behind where they should be. This package fixes that issue.

Installation

pip install bangla-text-renderer

Quick Start

from bangla_text_renderer import BanglaTextRenderer
from PIL import Image

# Create renderer with your Bangla font
renderer = BanglaTextRenderer(
    font_path='NotoSansBengali-Bold.ttf', # give your font name here /// download your font .ttf file and put on windows\fonts directory
    font_size=48,
    color=(255, 255, 255, 255)  # White
)

# Render text
text = "বাংলা লেখা সঠিকভাবে"
img = renderer.render_text(text, width=800)

# Save image
img.save('output.png')

Features

  • Perfect vowel positioning - Fixes misplaced vowel marks (ি, ী, ে, ৈ, etc.)
  • Joint letter support - Handles যুক্তাক্ষর correctly
  • Text wrapping - Automatic word wrapping
  • Multiple alignments - Left, center, right
  • Shadow effects - Built-in text shadow
  • Unicode normalization - Proper NFC normalization

Advanced Usage

Text with Shadow

img = renderer.render_text_with_shadow(
    text="বাংলা টেক্সট",
    width=800,
    shadow_offset=3,
    shadow_color=(0, 0, 0, 180)
)

Custom Alignment and Line Spacing

img = renderer.render_text(
    text="বাংলা লেখা",
    width=800,
    max_lines=3,
    line_spacing=15,
    align='center',  # 'left', 'center', or 'right'
    background=(255, 255, 255, 255)  # White background
)

Integration with Existing Images

from PIL import Image

# Load base image
base_img = Image.open('background.jpg').convert('RGBA')

# Render Bangla text
text_img = renderer.render_text("বাংলা", width=500)

# Paste text on base image
base_img.paste(text_img, (100, 100), text_img)
base_img.save('result.png')

How It Works

The package implements proper Bangla text shaping by:

  1. Normalizing text to Unicode NFC form
  2. Splitting combined vowel signs (ো, ৌ)
  3. Reordering pre-base vowels to appear before consonants
  4. Processing joint letters (যুক্তাক্ষর) with virama (্)

This ensures text renders exactly as it should appear visually.
