load font error -

[Kehrbert]

Hello,

I am having troubles loading a font to display text in SFML.
I tried to load the fonts from my System/Library/ folder of my mac m1 as well as fonts that have been copied into the workspace folder. Including the fonts seems to work in both cases but when i hit the build button i get loads of error messages telling me:

warning: null character ignored [-Wnull-character]
error: source file is not valid UTF-8

I am working with visual studio code. My project is based on the FSML Cmake example project. 

I guess this muss be some stupid beginner mistake but i just cant find a solution.
Can anybody please point me in the right direction?

Sounds more like you have some non-valid UTF-8 characters in your source code files.

Do you use any special characters? What encoding did you use on the source files?

When you say "including the fonts" you don't mean #include do you? Because that would definitely cause compile errors.
