AttributeError: 'ImageDraw' object has no attribute 'textsize'

[jalberts9]

I'm doing a fresh install, and after doing ./run.py I go to the webpage, click Create Account, and in the console I get the following error:

error AttributeError: 'ImageDraw' object has no attribute 'textsize'.

The full traceback is below. Any ideas on how to proceed? I'm on Debian 12 (bookworm).

FWIW I also noticed this during the setup:

warning Resolution field "@fortawesome/fontawesome-free@6.3.0" is incompatible with requested version "@fortawesome/fontawesome-free@^5.15.4"

@jalberts9 out of curiosity, what guide did you follow to set this up? I want to make sure you haven't copied dated examples which lead to missing settings and things of the such.

Please provide your current configuration settings including any environmental overrides.

[AzorianMatt]

@jalberts9 best I have to offer you at the moment is that we are certainly not calling 3.11 support official at this time so I would recommend finding a way back to 3.10. I'm not certain this is the root of your problem, but given my own issues when attempting a 3.11 venv, it seems somewhat relevant.

I reverted to my Debian 10 snapshot and then I upgraded to Debian 11 which provides Python 3.9.2. I went for another clean install following the wiki page mentioned above, but unfortunately I'm in the same situation.

I noticed this during setup:

warning Resolution field "@fortawesome/fontawesome-free@6.3.0" is incompatible with requested version "@fortawesome/fontawesome-free@^5.15.4"

And I still get the same error when going to the test webpage and clicking Create an account (but of course the paths have changed along with the version of python):

I suppose for now I'll hold off upgrading my Debian 10 install since everything is working over there but I'll have to figure something out before EOL. I'd be glad to continue trying things on this dev system if anyone has any suggestions.
