Graphics / Blocky font rendering
« on: September 06, 2014, 03:46:57 pm »
Hi everyone.
I'm using SFML compiled from source from the feature/xcb branch.
When trying to render text in a virtual machine running Ubuntu 14.04 (both x86 and x86_64), my code gives me blocky text:
Here's an image:
This is weird because I'm using exactly the same font as the OpenGL example, and the OpenGL example's text renders just fine
The same code works just fine on Windows (8.1 x86_64)
Any ideas/feedback/help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Aster
I'm using SFML compiled from source from the feature/xcb branch.
When trying to render text in a virtual machine running Ubuntu 14.04 (both x86 and x86_64), my code gives me blocky text:
int main()
{
// Load a font for text rendering
sf::Font font;
if(!font.loadFromFile("resources/sansation.ttf"))
return EXIT_FAILURE;
// Create a text object using the font we've just loaded
sf::Text text;
text.setFont(font);
text.setCharacterSize(16);
text.setColor(sf::Color::White);
text.setPosition(0.f, 0.f);
text.setString(
"SFMLSFMLSFML"
);
// Create the main window
sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(640, 64), "SFML");
// Start the game loop
while (window.isOpen())
{
// Process events
sf::Event event;
while (window.pollEvent(event))
{
// Close window: exit
if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
window.close();
// Escape key: exit
if ((event.type == sf::Event::KeyPressed) && (event.key.code == sf::Keyboard::Escape))
window.close();
}
// Clear the window of previously drawn content
window.clear();
// Draw our text
window.draw(text);
// Finally, display the rendered frame on screen
window.display();
}
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
{
// Load a font for text rendering
sf::Font font;
if(!font.loadFromFile("resources/sansation.ttf"))
return EXIT_FAILURE;
// Create a text object using the font we've just loaded
sf::Text text;
text.setFont(font);
text.setCharacterSize(16);
text.setColor(sf::Color::White);
text.setPosition(0.f, 0.f);
text.setString(
"SFMLSFMLSFML"
);
// Create the main window
sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(640, 64), "SFML");
