Unfortuately it did not.

Thanks.  I'm not sure that it does.  You've created a wrapper, which does some 
useful checking, but at the end of the day it still appears to make a simple 
call with a font name.

    font = pygame.font.Font(None, 36)
    #font = pygame.font.Font('liberationserif',36)

I suspect it is a path problem, but I'm new to python and am not really sure 
how to fix it.  In fact, I have just found that if I pass the file path it 
does not throw an error.

Unfortunately I still have not got test displayed for other reasons I am just 
learning.  However, it is a sunny day so perhaps I ought to take advantage of 
it.
