For the *very* best results with italic fonts,
you really need a slanted cursor. :-
I've looked into Sam's monospaced font size problems and followed up
in the Ubuntu bug. I think we've discovered unusual behaviour in
FreeType that may or may not be a bug, and hopefully someone on the
FreeType mailing list will respond to my questions over there. I'm

I worked out that it is only one version of the font that is causing the
problem. So, if you want to test it on Ubuntu without updati

OK, so I registered a bug on this, and it's possible that it is a bug
with the rendering library. Can anybody who knows anything about the
pygame.font module, look at the bug report and see if you can add any
information to this?

No, that's not the way it should work. I just tried an experiment:
>>> f = Font("VeraMono.ttf",
Are you accounting correctly for non-integer character width? If it's
always the same letter /position/ that's giving you trouble, then it's
possible that the width of the character is not an integer in that
size, and your text renderer may be accounting for that in ways that
your own program is n

Before I go and file a bug against Ubuntu, can somebody confirm I'm not
being stupid.
For my input boxes, the cursor position depends on a monospaced font.
This means I check the length of a rendered letter ("e") using the font,
and then set the cursor position as a multiple of this length.
