Indeed it seems more natural to pass the font object, so I think I will update the code to also allow that.
The reason you need to create the uMono object, is that it is a non system font, so pyglet needs to load it to be aware of it. If you do not keep the reference to it, pyglet may decide to unload it again. It cannot know whether you are planning to use it again. The name you use for it should be the same that would be displayed in the system. Unfortunately there is also no font name exposed in a platform independent way. I will do the following: I will create two improvement requests: 1 for allowing a font object instead of a string for name, 1 for exposing the font name.
