You can use the render() function to render the font object into a surface object which can then be blitted onto the screen using surface.blit(). Render takes in the text, a bool for using anti-aliasing, and a tuple for the rgb color value.
```Python
newFont = pygame.font.Font("times-new-roman.ttf", 15)
playerName = newFont.render("John Doe", True, (0,0,255))
mainScreen = pygame.display.set_mode((900, 900))
mainScreen.blit(playerName, (60, 60))
```

Rendering a Font Object in Pygame

You can create a font object with two different constructors: Font() and SysFont(). Font() requires a filename for the actual ttf font file you're using (or you can pass in None, in which case it will use the default system font), whereas SysFont() only requires the name of the font, since it draws from the fonts built into your system. Both fonts also have a parameter for the size of the font.
```Python
newFont = pygame.font.Font("times-new-roman.ttf", 15)
newSysFont = pygame.font.Font("calibri", 20)
```

The font module offers functionality for rendering fonts into Surface objects. You can create a font object by passing in the font name or ttf file name depending on how the font is stored, and then use a render() function to create a Surface object for the font.
