 PangoFont, SVG Rendering etceteras are all broken on AMD64 environments as
 a bug in Pygame's handling of image formats means it cannot properly
 calculate the size of the resulting image and as a result it blows up.

 pygame-ctypes doesn't have that *particular* error, but has it's own
 problems.  There's no particular solution right now, it's just borked.
 Need to update tutorials to warn users before they go through all the work
 of the setup.

 Bah.
