hmm, well perhaps try to determine where your code differs from my
little attached example? hopefully this helps.


"""example of text on white"""

message = "Press any key to exit."
textcolor = 200, 0, 0
backcolor = 255, 255, 255



import pygame
import pygame.font
from pygame.locals import *

def main():
    pygame.init()

    screen = pygame.display.set_mode((640, 480))

    tophalf = screen.get_rect()
    tophalf.height = tophalf.centery
    screen.fill(backcolor, tophalf)

    font = pygame.font.Font(None, 40)
    text = font.render(message, 1, textcolor)
    screen.blit(text, (40, 40))

    pygame.display.flip()

    while pygame.event.wait().type not in (QUIT, KEYDOWN): pass    








if __name__ == '__main__': main()
