The problem

Tried to use a Font and installed pillow version 10.0.0

At compile esphome will fail with error "Please update your pillow installation to at least 4.0.x. "

Problem ist this check in "components/font/init.py""
if PIL.__version__[0] < "4":

The version is 10.0.0

As only the first character is tested, the version is detected as 1

Suggested solution:

components/font/__init__.py:

from packaging import version

Line 73:

    if version.parse(PIL.__version__) < version.parse("4.0.0"):

Current code assumes first character is the version -- fails when the version is actually "10.0.0" as it reads it as "1"
