Today I installed games/jools on my recent 8.0-CURRENT. But it did not
run. In xterm the following error message was shown.
----------------------------
Checking for playlist in /home/xxxxxx/.jools/music...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/jools", line 29, in <module>
import jools
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/jools/__init__.py", line
40, in <module>
from initialize import *
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/jools/initialize.py",
line 144, in <module>
highScoreTitleFont = pygame.font.Font(None, 45)
RuntimeError: default font not found 'freesansbold.ttf'
----------------------------
Searching the internet the error was described for other systems too.
Obviously the game needs read access for all users to the mentioned font
file:
#cd /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pygame
#ls -l freesansbold.ttf
-rwx------ 1 root wheel - 98600 7 Jul 07:58:09 2008 freesansbold.ttf
Changing it with 'chmod a+r freesansbold.ttf' does the trick. Now jools
plays like a charm. It is a nice little game.
Could the maintainer or someone else update the port, please?
Thank you very much,
Rainer
