Yikes!  Hmmm...  According to the tutorial at:

   http://pygame.org/docs/tut/ChimpLineByLine.html

the Monkey game assumes that 'pygame.font' is set to None if Pygame can't
initialize its Font module.  But according to the error message, this
isn't happening.  I'm surprised because you're on a Windows system, so I
would have assumed that the prepackaged Pygame should have no problems.


You may want to talk with the Pygame folks here:

They may be better able to help you figure out what's going on here.  
Sorry about not being able to help more on this.
