The way SDL_ttf handles styles changed with changeset 55157da58804, pre 2.0.10. Before, the initial style of a newly opened TTF_font was TTF_STYLE_NORMAL. After, it was determined by the opened font. Also, SDL_ttf refuses to make a native bold font even more bold. This affects the default Pygame freesansbold.ttf which is bold.

- Changed status from new to resolved.
Close issue 106

In the fsSelection field of the OS/2 table set the bold flag (bit 5) 0 and the Regular flag (bit 6) 1. This now makes the font appear as a normal weight font to FreeType2, and therefore to SDL_ttf as well.
