Solarwolf fails to start with the following error on my system: Fatal Error Loading Resources exceptions.IOError in module gamesetup unable to read font filename Press Any Key to Quit This is displayed on the opening screen; the "Loading Resources..." graph is at about 5%, and the text is rendered in a sans-serif font that looks all right, so some sort of font support is working. The stars are moving, and it manages to play the startup sound. I have: python-pygame 1.7.1-release-4.1 python-support 0.5.6 Python version is: Python 2.4.4 (#2, Oct 20 2006, 00:23:25) [GCC 4.1.2 20061015 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-16.1)] on linux2

I'm still getting the error, with exactly the same symptoms. I'm running solarwolf 1.5-2 and have ttf-bitstream-vera 1.10-7 and ttf-dejavu 2.15-1. I haven't noticed any other font problems on this system since I filed the bug. I wonder why it says it can't read the "font filename", and not the "font".

What happens if you run python, then type: import pygame print pygame.ver Thanks,

tags #405339 + unreproducible thanks Hi, since this bug was reported over 16 years ago, pygame has made lots of changes, among others to its font handling code. Eg the mentioned error message "unable to read font filename" has been replaced in 2010 with "unable to read font file '%.1024s'" - https://github.com/pygame/pygame/commit/4772a872b3e72a59e507ecb3f4ed55b44fd375cb and been removed in 2022 - https://github.com/pygame/pygame/commit/e5659f146d83702ccb4db16af6e3b73d1d2845f1 Also at the current point in time cannot reproduce this bug (or a similar one with different error messages), so I'm tagging it accordingly and plan to close it in a few weeks. Thanks for reporting it and if it still or again :) occurs, feel free to reply or reopen, if it's already closed at that time.
