Font crashes

[andreaszdw]

If I do this:

Code: [Select]


sf::Font font;

    // Create the main rendering window
    sf::RenderWindow App(sf::VideoMode(800, 600, 32), "Ballspiel");


// Load font file on disk
if (!font.LoadFromFile("font/Videophreak.ttf"))
return EXIT_FAILURE;

sf::String buftext ("Hello!", font, 15);

my program crashes.

What's wrong? (the fontfile is in the correct place for loading)

I found my error, it was unicode.

Can you give more details please? It may be helpful for other users

[Mikea]

yes please

[andreaszdw]

I had to change this line:

Code: [Select]

sf::String buftext ("Hello!", font, 15);

to this:

Code: [Select]

sf::String buftext (L"Hello!", font, 15);


Than everything was alright.

Well, both codes are supposed to work. Can you tell us which OS, compiler and version of SFML you're using? Are you able to use a debugger to get more details about the crash?

[andreaszdw]

I'd tried it on Windows XP, with the MingW-Compiler and SFML 1.4 (the official download)

Sorry up to now I didn't use a debbugger.

I will try this at home with my Linux System.
