[pygame] Monospaced fonts are meant to be mono-spaced, right?

[Sam Bull <sam.hacking@xxxxxxxx>]

Before I go and file a bug against Ubuntu, can somebody confirm I'm not
being stupid.

For my input boxes, the cursor position depends on a monospaced font.
This means I check the length of a rendered letter ("e") using the font,
and then set the cursor position as a multiple of this length.

This worked fine before, but in Ubuntu 12.04, it no longer seems to be
monospaced. Getting the length of the character "e" on my system gives
me 9 pixels, but it seems that some characters, such as "h", are 10
pixels, which starts offsetting my cursor position and messing up my
input box.

The line I use to load the font is:
        pygame.font.SysFont("FreeMono, Monospace", 16)

That should definitely return a monospaced font, right?

And, the line used for getting the width is:
        mono_font.render("e", False, (0,0,0)).get_size()[0]

Is this a bug, or am I doing something stupid?
