Printing Text on Window
Here we will see how to get customized font and text on the screen. We will set the position of the texts’ to be displayed on the screen using x and y coordinates. First, we will create the font files and then render the texts. The screen. blit() function is used for copying the text surface objects to the display surface objects at the center coordinates.
Python3

Pygame – Working with Text
In this article, we will see how to play with texts using the Pygame module. We will be dealing here with initializing the font, rendering the text, editing the text using the keyboard, and adding a blinking cursor note.
Installation
To install this module type the below command in the terminal.
pip install pygame
