blue_font.pir

=head1 TITLE

blue_font.pir - draw a friendly message to the screen

=head1 SYNOPSIS

To run this file, run the following command from the Parrot directory:

    $ ./parrot examples/sdl/blue_font.pir
    $

Note that you need to have a font named C<times.ttf> in the current directory.
I recommend making a symlink.

Yes, getting this to work across platforms is tricky, as is distributing a
royalty-free font file.  Maybe soon.
