freetype.Font.render should also support newlines

[denilsonsa]

I see that pygame.font.Font.render supports newlines since pygame-ce-2.1.4.

However, pygame.freetype.Font.render doesn't seem to support it. (I haven't tested, I'm assuming based on the documentation.) I believe the FreeType module should also be updated to have roughly the same features as the Font module.

You’ve actually got the idea backward. The font module is intended to replace freetype iirc. Same as draw is intended to replace gfxdraw eventually

[denilsonsa]

But with the FreeType module I can get extra information about the font (such as family, and subfamily variant), while that info isn't available on the Font module. (Please note I have limited connectivity these days and I can't double-check what I'm saying. I just wanted to give you a response as quickly as possible. Please forgive me for mistakes.)

Yes, we are trying to add the missing features you mention to font rather than the other way around. On Mon, 4 Mar 2024, 14:38 Denilson Sá Maia, ***@***.***> wrote:
