Problem about function loadFromFile() of class sf::Font

[eriskcn]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to SFML and I'm encountering an issue with the `loadFromFile()` function in the `sf::Font` class. Below is my source code:

```
sf::Font font;
if (!font.loadFromFile("C:\\Windows\\Fonts\\Arial.ttf"))
{
    return -1;
}
```

When I run the program with Visual Studio 2022, the `Microsoft Visual Studio Debug Console` displays "Failed to load from file "" (failed to create the font face)". What can I do to fix this issue?

Thank you all very much!

First, it's much simpler to use single slashes (instead of double-backslashes)

Apart from that, I'd recommend checking the absolute path and filename is correct. (Note that it's case sensitive and "Arial" might be wrong; it's the filename you need, not the font's (or font group's) name).
I'd suggest using "arial.ttf". That seems to be the filename of it.

That usually happens if you use release libraries in debug mode or debug libraries in release mode. Make sure that you use the libraries with the -d suffix in debug mode and the ones without -d suffix in release mode.
