Title: Can't draw text and either load font
Post by: Carlows on June 21, 2013, 02:45:48 am

I'm trying to draw some text to a game, but I'm having trouble with it.




<sub>#include <SFML\Graphics.hpp>

sf::Font font;

int main()
{
   sf::RenderWindow window( sf::VideoMode( 800, 600 ), "Texto" );

   font.loadFromFile("BROADW.ttf");

   sf::Text text;
   text.setFont(font);
   text.setCharacterSize(40);
   text.setColor(sf::Color::Blue);
   text.setPosition( 100.0f, 100.0f );
   text.setString( "Hola Mundo!" );

   while (window.isOpen())
    {
        // check all the window's events that were triggered since the last iteration of the loop
        sf::Event event;
        while (window.pollEvent(event))
        {
         if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                window.close();
        }

      window.clear( sf::Color::Black );
      window.draw(text);
      window.display();
   }

   return 0;
}</sub>




When I try to load the font, I'm getting this error: "Unhandled exception in 0x66c41f34 (msvcr100.dll) in Text.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00357000."
Even if I try to draw text without font, It doesn't draw anything. What's going on?

Place your font in main.

Maybe you mixed debug and release of your program and dlls?

What do you mean? I paste all the files in /bin folder to system32 directly, is it wrong? I didn't understand how to setup the dll's when I read the tutorial yesterday, lol

Well, I link the debug version of the libraries and it works, thanks :)
