Hi. I'm pretty new to python so I'm just practicing some things with pygame. I wanted to convert a script to exe but I can't get it to work. From my searching it seems others are having success doing this so I assume I'm doing something wrong. All I can gather is it's a font problem. I've tried whatever 'solutions' turn up on Google and elsewhere. My script is very basic - just drawing some text to a rect. Can anyone assist? Thanks

Have you tried this script:
http://www.pygame.org/wiki/Pygame2exe
it includes the default pygame font

yes I tried this. It creates the exe. When I run that I get a popup with "errors occured check log file" type message. Inside the log file is this:

test2:33: RuntimeWarning: use font: MemoryLoadLibrary failed loading pygame\font.pyd
(ImportError: MemoryLoadLibrary failed loading pygame\font.pyd)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test2.py", line 33, in
File "pygame\__init__.pyo", line 70, in __getattr__
NotImplementedError: font module not available
(ImportError: MemoryLoadLibrary failed loading pygame\font.pyd)

I followed that guide but kept getting dll errors. I just decided to copy every dll from the pygame directory into my dist folder and it finally worked. So one or more of them are the culprit. They are small enough that I won't worry about tracking down which one right now. ;)
