SysFont wrongly italicizes text on XP, was Re: [pygame] BUG: SysFont hangs when loading certain fonts (with cause and fix ideas)

[René Dudfield <renesd@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I noticed another SysFont issue is the issue tracker:
    "SysFont wrongly italicizes text on XP"
    https://bitbucket.org/pygame/pygame/issue/64/sysfont-wrongly-italicizes-text-on-xp

Is anyone on Windows XP able to confirm that the script below shows italic fonts when ran?

The screen shot here sure does look like they are italic:
