pyGame fonts

[Wade Brainerd]

Hi Ken, PyGame provides a font module which can render text onto a surface.


from gettext import gettext as _

    font = pygame.font.Font(None, 36)

    surf = font.render(_("Hello, world!"), 1, (255,255,255))
    pos = surf.get_rect(centerx=Pos[0], centery=Pos[1])
    screen.blit(surf, pos)

The _() around the text indicates that the string is to be localized, it
will be extracted and placed in a database by the gettext utility.

You can then blit the surface to the screen.  See
http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/font.html for more information.
