>Description:
Installed games/jools on mostly recent 8.0-CURRENT. It did not execute. 
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'
----------------------------

>How-To-Repeat:
Install games/jools from ports.

Execute /usr/local/bin/jools in xterm or similarly.


>Fix:
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

Workaround:

After changing the rights with 'chmod a+r freesansbold.ttf' games/jools works as expected.

Probably better solution:

Lowell Gilbert gave me the hint that other files in devel/py-game are installed with same incorrect privileges. 

So it seems a fix should be done at this port.
