Oh, lol, duh XD sorry. Make sure that you include the release libraries in release mode, and the debug libraries (the ones that end in -d) in debug mode.

Hello! Sorry that you're having problems. Can I ask what program you're using (Code::Blocks, Visual Studio, etc.)

Graphics / Re: Cannot display text on screen even though the font file has been loaded

thank you! The ultimate problem was that I was putting things in the gameloop that I shouldn't have. (P.S.: setColor is deprecated, the new version is setFillColor)

Graphics / Cannot display text on screen even though the font file has been loaded

« on: June 15, 2017, 10:00:11 pm »

Hello, I looked around on the forums and couldn't find any problems like mine.
I am trying to write a journal program, and I want to utilize sf::Text and sf::Font. My program is able to successfully load the font file without error, but when I use text::setString and display the text, I don't get anything. I have noticed that if I setStyle to underline, a line will appear. I have tried this with multiple .ttf files and none have worked. Any help is appreciated 

Here is my code:

#include <SFML/Window.hpp>
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <SFML/System.hpp>
#include <SFML/Network.hpp>
#include <SFML/Audio.hpp>

int main()
{
   int screenWidth = 500;
   int screenHeight = 500;
   sf::Font font;
   sf::Text text;
   sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(screenWidth, screenHeight), "Window");
   while (1)
   {
      //refresh window
         window.display();
         window.clear(sf::Color(100,0,0,255));
      //set font
         font.loadFromFile("dotty.ttf");
      //draw text to screen
         text.setFont(font);
         text.setString("Hello world");
         text.setCharacterSize(24);
         text.setFillColor(sf::Color(0,0,0,255));
         text.setStyle(sf::Text::Bold | sf::Text::Underlined);
         window.draw(text);
   }
}
