Font is failing to load

[MrSnappingTurtle]

Hey!

I have the following code:

if(!font_.loadFromFile("arial.ttf"));
        std::cout << "Failed to load font." << std::endl;

I have the following file structure:


The end result is one of pain and suffering(look at the console):


Does anyone know why this is happening? The font is in the same directory as the exe. Thanks!

You need to remove the semicolon after your "if" statement otherwise you will always get that error message! 

if(!font_.loadFromFile("arial.ttf"));// The problem is here! Remove the semicolon!
        std::cout << "Failed to load font." << std::endl;
