> how to draw a white edge around a one-colored image(or rendered font > without aa)?
Many years ago there was a small Pygame contest to generate interesting font effects. The old page exists, but I think it has been slowly been buried under website cleanups. Look at the "Progress" entry I did. Although it does an animated progress bar, there is an alternate border color on the text. http://www.pygame.org/fontcontest.shtml
