Hi all,
this is the error i get when i try to run the example. The only modification i made is to load different font because i havent the one in the source.

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  random_device::random_device(const std::string&)

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Process returned 255 (0xFF)   execution time : 26.612 s
Press any key to continue.

G.

Googling "random_device::random_device(const std::string&)" yields results you know, it says it's (or used to be) a bug in the MinGW compiler.
BTW, you could have linked your source code so that people don't have to search for what you're talking about. ;)

Thanks for the reply,
the source code is a cut and paste of the example source code found in SFML website >> wiki.
