Whenever I try to use the FreeSans font with SDL, either through PyGame or Soya, I get disappointing results. The characters come out slightly higglety-pigglety -- randomly displaced up or down a pixel or so from the baseline.
Something about the calculation of the font height seems to be off, too. The fonts that come with MacOSX don't have these problems, so the fault doesn't seem to be with SDL or FreeType. Has anyone else noticed this? If it's a problem with the quality of FreeSans, can anyone recommend a free Helvetica-like font family that doesn't have this problem? -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
