General / Problem with fonts

« on: July 25, 2024, 05:17:09 pm »

I'm just starting to learn SFML so I don't understand why this code isn't working. As I understand it, the font simply cannot be loaded, which is why the error occurs. I tried everything I could, absolute path, different fonts, different paths, ran as administrator.
Error:

Failed to load font "AtЇE"
arial.ttf HїO╓▓█ПьУ·┤╟Ў∙FфT}ь< ─Ў∙" (failed to create the font face).

Here is the code:

#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>

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

    sf::Font font;
    if (!font.loadFromFile("arial.ttf")) {
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }

    sf::Text text("Hello, SFML!", font, 30);
    text.setFillColor(sf::Color::White);
    text.setPosition(200, 300);

    while (window.isOpen())
    {
        sf::Event event;
        while (window.pollEvent(event))
        {
            if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                window.close();
        }

        window.clear();
        window.draw(text);
        window.display();
    }

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
 

Some additional information: I'm working in Visual Studio 2022 and my operating system is Windows 11
