Hi,

Yes, it looks like a bug. But there may be a simple workaround. Try replace line 68 with this:

myFont = pygame.font.Font(None, 20)

If that fails then possibly the default font that ships with Pygame is not being installed in the proper place.

Well I put part of the traceback into google and apparently some other people have had the same problem: www.pyedpypers.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=937....his <http://www.pyedpypers.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=937....his> solution was to use a different version of python. The thing is that I'm using Python 2.5 just like the book, and I'm using pygame 1.9.1release-py2.5 which is for python 2.5!

Looks to me like you either found a bug in the core pygame code
for loading the system font on Mac or you are calling that method
wrong. I checked the method and it seems like you should be able
to do what you're doing; it shouldn't find a sysfont called none
so it should load the default.
If no one else gets around to it, I'll give it a test on my Mac
after work and let you know.
