Re: [pygame] FreeSanBold Font and Screen Terminating Problems

Why isn't the text drawing (or being rendered) when one runs this program: 

import pygame
from pygame.locals import *

def main():
	# Initialize screen
	pygame.init()
	screen = pygame.display.set_mode((800,300))
	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()

Many, many thanks!

I fixed it by manually moving the freesanbold.ttf file to:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site- packages/pygame 

Happy programming,

For some reason, the default pygame font is not to be found.
Your program is fine--it runs for me (and just to make sure, you see only a white background, you aren't drawing text). As a solution, you can locate the fonts on your computer and use one of them.
