How does one create a texture for use with pygame's font render? Or is there a
way to convert a surface to a texture? My understanding of SDL/pygame is still
rather limited.

I'll do just that tomorrow when I'm free. Thanks for the tip!

That is a very interesting. However, from the examples, I'm not sure I see how to
render to the modified surface for use with OGL. I'm probably missing something
here. Thank both of you for your time and attention. Cheers!
