on Mac OS X 10.3.4, I'm trying to use the system fonts, but I get an empty list:

>>> import pygame
>>> f = pygame.font.get_fonts()

Python doesn't have an easy way to access the list of system fonts on OSX. If someone could fill in the code to do this I will commit it right into Pygame.

Look for the "initsysfonts_darwin" function. Basically you create a dictionary of names to TTF files.
