Is there a way for me to find out what data files I'm using?  
Apparently the font normally gets loaded through PIL's _imagingft 
module, but the _imagingft module seems weird.  Take a look at it below 
(it even mentions py2app).  Any idea what this means -- how to work 
around it?


def __load():
     import imp, os, sys
     ext = 'PIL/_imagingft.so'
     for path in sys.path:
         if not path.endswith('lib-dynload'):
             continue
         ext = os.path.join(path, ext)
         if os.path.exists(ext):
             #print "py2app extension module", __name__, "->", ext
             mod = imp.load_dynamic(__name__, ext)
             #mod.frozen = 1
             break
         else:
             raise ImportError, repr(ext) + " not found"
     else:
         raise ImportError, "lib-dynload not found"
__load()
del __load
