It looks like this is a pretty common stumbling block, and you need to call
`pygame.font.init()` before the code you pasted.

Also.. the way you've pasted that code has added '||' all over the place.
Not sure what's going on there (some sort of tabs/spaces thing?), but it
makes it extremely hard to read!
