Hi William,
Please check with the pygame folks on this one; pygame is a
third-party library, and we at Tutor might not be too familiar with
the library. There should be an active pygame-users mailing list at
the following URL:
http://www.pygame.org/wiki/info
According to web searches, the term "pygame.error: font not
initialized" means that you may have forgotten to initialize PyGame
first.
Reference: http://inventwithpython.com/pygame/chapter2.html, where
they say: "If you ever see an error message like pygame.error: font
not initialized, check to see if you forgot to call pygame.init() at
the start of your program."
Again, I have no direct experience with PyGame, so I can not confirm
that this will fix the issue for your own program. This is why you'll
probably want to ask on pygame-users.
Good luck to you!
