Re: [pygame] Pygame font issues
ah. the problem stems from the pygame 1.8.1release source tar ball... which has some incorrect permissions in it. Will make sure that's fixed in 1.9.

Bingo. the default font was set to 700, set it to 644 and it worked. Sounds like a pygame installation issue, but then if it is surely someone else would have spotted it by now?

Unfortuately it did not.

Thanks. I'm not sure that it does. You've created a wrapper, which does some
useful checking, but at the end of the day it still appears to make a simple
call with a font name.
font = pygame.font.Font(None, 36)
#font = pygame.font.Font('liberationserif',36)
I suspect it is a path problem, but I'm new to python and am not really sure
how to fix it. In fact, I have just found that if I pass the file path it
does not throw an error.
Unfortunately I still have not got test displayed for other reasons I am just
learning. However, it is a sunny day so perhaps I ought to take advantage of
it.

Re: [pygame] Pygame font issues
does
font = pygame.font.Font(None, 36)
use the player's default system font?
