Drawing the bullet character in sf::Text
« on: July 20, 2015, 08:23:09 pm »
Hello,

I've been trying to draw a bullet (●) via sf::Texts but every time the result wasn't exactly what I wanted. I am using std::wstrings. I've tried '\x9679', '\x2022' and other characters that I've now forgotten, but each time the bullet was too small, or a white square.

Any help would be very much appreciated  :)

If you see a square, use a font that supports the character.

If the bullet is "too small", you're either using the wrong character or it is just the way how the font represents it.

If you're still separating your text into multiple (text) objects (as mentioned in this thread), you could just use an sf::CircleShape...  ;)
