I had a little play with this, and the following segfaults, too (on OS X
10.7 w/ Macports Python 2.7 and pygame 1.9.1)
import pygame
import io
pygame.font.init()
f = open("/opt/local/share/wine/fonts/symbol.ttf", "r")
font = pygame.font.Font(f, 8) # Works fine
f.close()
f = open("/opt/local/share/wine/fonts/symbol.ttf", "rb")
buffer = io.BytesIO()
c=f.read()
print(len(c))
while len(c) != 0:
buffer.write(c)
c=f.read()
print(len(c))
f.close()
buffer.seek(0)
font = pygame.font.Font(buffer, 8) # Segfault
Similarly with StringIO.StringIO()
