It works for me, so the patch is fine.

Just a short doc, hope it's help:

locate fontfx.py (use the "locate" command)

Edit the file.
In line 144, change, this:
self.text = font.render(message, False, [255, 0, 0], self.notcolor)
to that:
self.text = font.render(message, 1, [255, 0, 0], self.notcolor)

In line 155
base = font.render(message, 0, fontcolor, self.notcolor)
base = font.render(message, 1, fontcolor, self.notcolor)

as root, because they are installed files.

As I remember, that's pretty much all...
