Title: Text setFont error
Post by: brother on August 19, 2016, 11:12:11 am

Hello!

I'm using Visual Studio express 2013 + SFML 2.4.0 for vc12 32-bit.

Here goes problem code:

sf::Font font;
if (!font.loadFromFile("res/Calibri.ttf")) {
        std::cout << "Font load error" << std::endl;
        return;
} else {
        std::cout << "Font no error" << std::endl;
}

m_input.setFont(font);
 

Font is loading with no errors!
But i got exception on m_input.setFont(font).

I've put error message and my additional dependencies screenshots at atachments.

Any clues?

Are those libraries in debug mode? Are you running your application in debug mode? What's the call stack?

I'm running in debug mode.

I've attached call stack screenshot.

Seems that problem is here:

void Console::Render(sf::RenderWindow& window)
{
        window.draw(m_background);
        window.draw(m_input);
}
 

On window.draw(m_input) i've got:

So it doesn't crash where you said it was crashing. ;)

Since we don't know the full code, my guess is that you load the font locally (no member variable), then set the reference to the font for the text object and the leave the function which destroys the font object, leaving the text object with a reference into no where.

Font objects need to exist as long as they are used by text objects.
