Comment 1 for bug 86736

This appears to actually be a bug in pygame, which spins forever when some bold or italic fonts are requested. Observe that this hangs:

python -c "import pygame, pygame.font; pygame.font.init(); print pygame.font.SysFont('sans', 14, 1, 1)"

The following patch to /usr/lib/games/solarwolf/txt.py works around the problem:
