We already discussed all of this by mail and I'll be please to continue
by beer ;)

I have a technical question for you. It's very important in order to be
sure pygame is an option for gcompris to check that it can use it for
any language out there. Simply, can we display arabic (bi-directional
support) in pygame.
I know that gnome-canvas uses pango for the display of fonts and it was
a lot of work. Does pygame has the equivallent.
