Urdu works nicely. Pango is very robust!

>>> str2img('اس صفحہ کو ترامیم کیلیۓ نـیـم محفوظ کر دیا گیا ہے اور صارف کو اندراج کر کے داخل نوشتہ ہونا لازم ہے۔', 
...         pango_view='/opt/local/bin/pango-view',

... ...
... >>>
... """

"\n>>> def foo():\n...     print 'foo foo foo foo foo'\n...\n>>>\n"
