Hello there,
I am using OS X Leopard, Python 2.5, and PyGame...
Wrote this sample program and what happens is that the screen appears
for a brief second and terminates (closes itself) and I get this error
message.
import pygame
from pygame.locals import *
def main():
# Initialize screen
pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((400,100))
pygame.display.set_caption('Basic Pygame program')
# Fill background
background = pygame.Surface(screen.get_size())
background = background.convert()
background.fill((250, 250, 250))
# Display some text
font = pygame.font.Font(None, 36)
text = font.render("Hello Unnsse!", 1, (10, 10, 10))
textpos = text.get_rect()
textpos.centerx = background.get_rect().centerx
# Blit everything to the screen
screen.blit(background, (0, 0))
pygame.display.flip()
# Event loop
while 1:
for event in pygame.event.get():
if event.type == QUIT:
return
screen.blit(background, (0, 0))
pygame.display.flip()
if __name__ == '__main__': main()
This is the error message:
2008-02-27 20:23:09.627 Python[93137:613] Warning once: This
application, or a library it uses, is using NSQuickDrawView, which has

File "hello.py", line 16, in main
font = pygame.font.Font(None, 36)
RuntimeError: default font not found 'freesansbold.ttf'
Subsequently, I installed freessansbold.ttf into Leopard and when I re-
ran the program, nothing changed?!
How come the screen closes so fast? Also, how come it's not locating
this newly installed font?
Happy programming,
Unnsse
