When using a dummy display (eg. headless environment) all of the tags are on top of each other

[gpjt]

Possibly I'm just missing some config, do let me know if so! Here's what I did:

$ export SDL_VIDEODRIVER="dummy"
$ python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:56)

>>> import pygame
>>> pygame.display.set_mode((1024,768)) 
<Surface(1024x768x8 SW)>
>>> from pytagcloud import create_tag_image, make_tags
>>> from pytagcloud.lang.counter import get_tag_counts
>>> 
>>> YOUR_TEXT = "A tag cloud is a visual representation for text data, typically\
... used to depict keyword metadata on websites, or to visualize free form text."
>>> 
>>> tags = make_tags(get_tag_counts(YOUR_TEXT), maxsize=120)
>>> 
>>> create_tag_image(tags, 'cloud_large.png', size=(900, 600), fontname='Lobster') 

The result looks like this:

Having the same issue myself. Works flawlessly on my local machine, but on my remote server all the words pile up on eachother. I've tried editing the __init__.py file to use a headless version of PyGame (by setting os.environ['SDL_VIDEODRIVER'] to 'dummy', but it still hasn't fixed the issue.
