Where does everyone get their .ttf files for text in SFML?
« on: February 04, 2012, 07:20:48 pm »
Just wondering since I've been wanting to test out the Text codes SFML has but they seem to need a type of file I'm a bit clueless about.   Anyone want to help?

Just google "download tff font" and you will find tons of those files.

You don't really need to load it from a file: you can just use the default font.
Take a look at the tutorial, it mentions the GetDefaultFont function.
If you use the default font then read this first: http://www.sfml-dev.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4741

Under Windows you can find the TTF files for the fonts installed on the system under C:\Windows\Fonts. Just keep in mind that not all of them use the TTF format and you might not be allowed to deploy them with your program.
