Re: [pygame] font.get_fonts and OS X

[Lenard Lindstrom <len-l@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I see there are problems with Windows XP. Apparently the default fonts 
aren't showing up in the usual registry place:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts

I guess that is just for additional fonts, which Brian's build machine 
apparently does not have. Would there be any other places in the 
registry to search? Or must one start with a list of default Windows 
fonts then check for each in the \windows\fonts directory?
