[pygame] Re: BUG: import font fails with python2.3 cvs 1.7.2pre 2006/01/13

[Rene Dudfield <renesd@xxxxxxxxx>]

I tried changing PyUnicode_AsEncodedObject to PyUnicode_AsEncodedString.

I think it works... but haven't really tested it fully.  I think this
should be ok.

If someone is using unicode fonts, that can test pygame cvs please do!
 Also a little example that tests unicode fonts would be very handy.


Chairs,
