I'd still love for pygame to incorporate the patches that Bob Ippolito
submitted to this list in late July! :)
I just got CVS access to pygame today, and I have committed my changes. It looks like reasonable SysFont support would require writing another font class that uses the native typography support for OS X.. It shouldn't be terribly hard, I'll just have to see what's involved with regard to getting the contents of a NSView into a pygame surface.
