aaahhhh thank you for this. This is working now!

For others that might come across this. Here is what I needed to change:

Go to your project properties -> Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies:

For debug configuration:
sfml-graphics-d.lib
sfml-window-d.lib
sfml-system-d.lib
sfml-audio-d.lib
sfml-main-d.lib

For release configuration:
sfml-graphics.lib
sfml-window.lib
sfml-system.lib
sfml-audio.lib
sfml-main.lib

Came for the exact same reason. Everything works of SFML 2.6.1 64 bit version, aside from the font.

Running

sf::Font font;
if (!font.loadFromFile("times.ttf"))
    std::cout << "Could not load font." << std::endl;
return EXIT_SUCCESS;

Returns this message when running

Failed to load font "░╣
8times.ttf      ╤ó╨÷╨rµ╣e └o╟ -ÉG√" (failed to create the font face)
Could not load font.

C:\...\Primer\x64\Debug\Primer.exe (process 30992) exited with code 0.
To automatically close the console when debugging stops, enable Tools->Options->Debugging->Automatically close the console when debugging stops.

The times.ttf is the one copied from the C:\Windows\Fonts folder into the Debug folder where the exe file is. I also tried coping in every other folder of the Primer Project as well as running C:\\Windows\\Fonts\\times.ttf. All without luck.

This is my whole code:

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <iostream>


using namespace std;

int main()
{
    sf::Font font;
    if (!font.loadFromFile("times.ttf"))
        std::cout << "Could not load font." << std::endl;
    return EXIT_SUCCESS;


    return 0;
}
