Re: [pygame] How the get a font size

[James Paige <Bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The only bad thing I can say about it is that it simply doesn't work :(

>>> f = pygame.font.Font(None, 12)
>>> f.size = 12
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'pygame.font.Font' object attribute 'size' is read-only

And that is not just because Font already has a method named .size()

>>> f.pointsize = 12
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'pygame.font.Font' object has no attribute 'pointsize'

I'm guessing that since pygame.font.Font is impelmented in C, it doesn't 
allow new members to be added as it would if it was implemented in 
python (Correct me if I am wrong)
