Hum... Nicer i can't say but it's a pretty simple font and also usable for menu etc... i think.

Hmm..   Well, I searched on my HDD, and found
pygame-1.9.1release\lib\freesansbold.ttf

It is attached. I don't think I've ever used it. Is it a good-looking font? Nicer than Vera?

Yeah but in fact. I'm using Ocemp GUI and i refer to freesansbold which is the default font indirectly. So maybe i can change the default font of pygame? Or maybe i have to add freesansbold.ttf in Pygame cause it seems to be missing :

the pygame.font.match_font('freesansbold') returns None

Hi everyone.

The default font of Pygame seems to be missing... how can i solve it?

RuntimeError: default font not found 'freesansbold.ttf'

This is what I use:

# 11 point Vera is a good font for menus and button labels
try:
    vera = pygame.font.Font('Vera.ttf', 11)
except:
    print('Warning: could not load "Vera.ttf" -- text will be ugly!')
    vera = pygame.font.SysFont('arial,microsoftsansserif,courier', 13)
