I heard about that, so before I posted I copied the ttf file into a
subdirectory relative my main.py script. ( its in
./data/ttf/freesandsbold.ttf )

And code:
self.font_path = os.path.join('.', 'data','ttf','freesansbold.ttf')
self.font = pygame.font.Font(self.font_path, 18)

And I get the parachute in my first post.

Because the Font path is in the Python/lib/site-packages/pygame dir, so if
Python isn't installed the font doesn't exist =)

Using the pygame default font in py2exe doesn't work for some reason.
You'll have to include the file in your distribution yourself and use
pygame.font.Font().  Also remember to include *all* your data files in the
distr folder py2exe makes too.
