Description

Expected behaviour

I put a title on imshow like 'Données du ministère de la santé' and I expect to show it

Actual behaviour

The title show is 'Données du ministère de la santé'

Steps to reproduce
  • example code
from cv2 import imshow, waitKey, destroyAllWindows, imread

from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont
filename = "tmp.png"
fnt = ImageFont.truetype('arial.ttf', 20)
image = Image.new(mode = "RGB", size = (400,40), color = "blue")
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(image)
draw.text((10,10), "Données du ministère de la santé", font=fnt, fill=(255,0,0))
image.save(filename)
image  = imread(filename)
imshow("Données du ministère de la santé", image)
if waitKey(0) == ord('q'):
   destroyAllWindows()

Issue submission checklist
  • This is not a generic OpenCV usage question (looking for help for coding, other usage questions, homework etc.)
  • I have read the README of this repository and understand that this repository provides only an automated build toolchain for OpenCV Python packages (there is no actual OpenCV code here)
  • The issue is related to the build scripts in this repository, to the pre-built binaries or is a feature request (such as "please enable this additional dependency")
  • I'm using the latest version of opencv-python

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported Windows 10 X86 case with the provided Python snippet and opencv-python 4.5.5.62. Check the repository README and build-toolchain scope first; the payload provides no file or test entry point, and the reported imshow behavior may belong to OpenCV rather than this packaging repository.
