Sadly this package doesn't work anymore, since python2-pillow does not exist anymore.

It is broken on systems with both python2 and python3 installed; symptoms are error message about missing /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/fontypythonmodules when you run the fontypython.

Origin of the error is in /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/fontypythonmodules/segwrapfonty.py where the author makes new command line python <other stuff> which assumes we will actually run the python3 interpreter rather than python2.

Fix: rename python to python2 in the command he generates and uses.
