[pygame] Problems with certain fonts in PyWeek3 entries



PyGame seems unable to handle certain fonts on my
MacOSX system. I've noticed this with a couple of
the PyWeek 3 entries. The symptom is that anything
rendered in the font comes out as nothing but a
series of missing-character symbols.

One of these games is Typus Pocus, which contains
a font called MagicSchoolOne.ttf that exhibits this
problem. Another is Team_Cloudy's entry (Echo the
Robot) with fonts axaxax.ttf and goodtime.ttf.
The fonts display fine when opened with Font Book.

Has anyone else had a problem like this? Any
idea what could be done about it?

I'm using MacOSX 10.4, Python 2.3 or 2.4,
PyGame 1.7.1, SDL_ttf 2.0.8, Freetype 2.2.1.
