Font load issue...
« on: March 03, 2013, 07:44:59 pm »
I can't seem to get my program to load the font. 
CodE:
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <SFML/Audio.hpp>
#include <SFML/Network.hpp>
#include <SFML/System.hpp>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
        sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(800, 600), "SFML works!", sf::Style::Close);     
        bool running = true;
        bool startmenu = true;
        bool ingame = false;
        bool gamemenu = false;

        //Declare Objects
        sf::Font font;
        if (!font.loadFromFile("ubuntu.ttf")){
                cout << "Could not load font..." << endl;
                system("PAUSE");
        }
        sf::Text text("Test", font, 50);
       
        text.setPosition(20,10);
        text.setScale(20,20);
        sf::RectangleShape rect;
        rect.setFillColor(sf::Color::Red);
        rect.setSize(sf::Vector2f(20,20));
        rect.setPosition(40,40);
       
        while (running){               

               


                sf::Event event;
                if (window.pollEvent(event)){

                        if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
                                running = false;
                       

                }
       
                window.clear();
                window.draw(text);
                window.draw(rect);
                window.display();
       
       
       
        }
    return 0;
}
 
It shows me failed to load font "tu.ttf" Failed to create font face.

My font is ubuntu.ttf.. Why is it outputting tu.ttf?

Make sure that you're not using release libraries in debug mode.

So make sure that you're not using debug libraries ;D

What's your OS by the way? Can you load other resources such as textures or sounds?

Ya.... About those debugging libraries.  Didn't build it in release config.  :-\ My bad.
