[Sugar-devel] SugarGames, GTK3 and fonts ?

I've applied the patch : but, as Gonzalo Odiard made me notice, perhaps I'd
better not rely on deprecated sugargame library any more : right ?
So I think I have to use plain gtk3 fonts and canvas (is there one ? I did
not find any note on the official python GTK3 tutorial :
http://python-gtk-3-tutorial.readthedocs.org/en/latest/), and also make an
activity class for the integration with the olpc (toolbar).

Or can I use Pygames without the sugargame layer ? Because PyGame make
animations coding easier : I remember that in GTK2 I had some pains for
using threads : because in PyGTK2 there was a kind of restriction (though I
can't remember which) with threads coding.
