Okay, setting the resolution to 45 corrects the sizes: pygame.freetype.init(resolution=45) Python 2.7.3 pygame 1.9.2a0 pygame.freetype 2.4.10 radon.bdf 12 radon.bdf 13 radon-wide.bdf 12 radon-wide.bdf 13 c64.bdf 8 c64d.bdf 16I don't know why this is the case. Explicit bitmap font support is not built into the freetype module, so is untested. It is something I intended, but have not got around too. Sorry.Lenard Lindstrom.

The freetype version of pygame.font.init() is just pygame.freetype.init(). It takes a 'resolution' keyword argument that sets the default pitch used in rendering. I suppose setting the pitch to the screen resolution, in pixels per inch, makes the point size equal pixel size. The pygame.freetype.Font type allows pitch to be set individually for each Font instance. It is this pitch twiddling which allows pygame.freetype.Font to mimic how pygame.font.Font handles the default Pygame font, which is scaled differently from other fonts.On 13-10-05 01:48 PM, Jason Marshall wrote:Maybe my understanding of size is wrong... http://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/ft2faq.html#other-size------------------------------------------------------------------------*From:* Jason Marshall <jmm0@xxxxxxxxx> *To:* "pygame-users@xxxxxxxx" <pygame-users@xxxxxxxx> *Sent:* Saturday, October 5, 2013 2:41 PM*Subject:* Re: [pygame] freetype + unusual font format: What am I doing wrong?Lenard,Sorry, updating to pygame-1.9.2a0-12de2da43ecb.win32-py3.3.msi didn't help.By passing a different (wrong) size, I was able to get freetype to render some fonts but not others. I made a webpage with the only documentation that I have found, some demo code that can render from some BDF fonts, and a screenshot:http://www.marshallworkshop.com/pygame/freetype-bug/I suspect that there's a mistake in the documentation for instantiating the pygame.freetype.Font class. If I follow the documentation and pass it the font name, style and size, I get an error. If I just pass only the font name and a certain (wrong) size, it sometimes renders.Jason
