Hmm. That works for me in both 1.1.7 and trunk, and I don't really see
how it can fail for you given that it ends up calling the same method
in both cases:

    def textsize(self, text, font=None):
        if font is None:
            font = self.getfont()
        return font.getsize(text)

What's the exact error?
