  • Need help with pygame's font module

    Pygame uses SDL_ttf under the hood to work with fonts. If you’re just wanting to load your own font you can just use pygame.font.Font() and point it to a ttf file. If you’re wanting to mess with the font object or do something else with the raw font data, you might want to check out https://github.com/pygame/pygame/blob/main/src_c/font.c and https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_ttf/blob/main/SDL_ttf.c to get an idea of what pygame and SDL are doing under the surface.

    Regarding #2, there has been some recent development in SDL2 to support colored glyphs, see https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_ttf/commit/6f6e534f54c91c39a241ec0aa0a4991662cf60b5 ... but I don't know how easy or hard it is to get that operational on Android
