Even if you manage to get this working on your own machine,
I'd recommend you not rely on default fonts for anything
you release to others, and include a font with your game.
Whether pygame can find default fonts on any given
installation seems to be rather hit-and-miss, in my
experience.

I've been using the Bitstream Vera fonts for this -- they're
small, they look good and they have a license that allows
redistribution.
