%&#¤%&¤#&¤ FONTS!

[Maximilian]

So yeah... Let's talk about ""#¤"&% fonts... I've spent two days trying to make the VERY simple line:

font.loadFromFile("C:\Windows\Fonts\Calibri.ttf");

work. But no matter what I try to to I get the good old "failed to create the font face" error... Is this a bug with Fonts?! I'm going insane... There is no minimal code to be posted, as it is litterally just that one line, in an innocent constructor... :/

C++ basics, you have to escape the backslash character (or simply use forward slash)...

But... two days? Are you sure you have nothing else to do?

well... That did get it loaded... now its throwing exceptions in release mode and randomly corruption the stack in debug mode... I dont understand. I've been doing this for a long time now, and never before have I ran into something seamlessly corruption my stack -.- anyway... Here is the member function thats having issues:

void Graph::draw(sf::RenderWindow& window){
        for(int j=0; j<nodes.size(); j++){
                for(int i=0; i<nodes.at(j)->edges.size(); i++){
                        double startX=nodes.at(j)->edges.at(i)->start->x;
                        double startY=nodes.at(j)->edges.at(i)->start->y;
                        double endX=nodes.at(j)->edges.at(i)->end->x;
                        double endY=nodes.at(j)->edges.at(i)->end->y;
                        sf::Vertex line[2]={
                                sf::Vertex(sf::Vector2f(startX, startY)),
                                sf::Vertex(sf::Vector2f(endX, endY))
                        };
                        window.draw(line, 2, sf::Lines);
                        sf::CircleShape temp(5, 3);
                        temp.setOrigin(5, 5);
                        temp.setPosition(endX, endY);
                        double theta;
                        if(endX==startX&&startY<endY)
                                theta=3.1415/2;
                        else if(endX==startX&&endY<startY)
                                theta=3*3.1415/2;
                        else{
                                theta=atan((endY-startY)/(startX-endX));
                                if(endX>startX)
                                        theta=3.1415-theta;
                                if(endY>startY)
                                        theta=-theta;
                                if(endX>startX&&endY<startY)
                                        theta=-theta;
                        }
                        temp.rotate(30);
                        temp.rotate(-180/3.1415*theta);
                        temp.move(10*cos(theta), -10*sin(theta));
                        window.draw(temp);
                        std::ostringstream strs;
                        strs << nodes.at(j)->edges.at(i)->size;
                        std::string str = strs.str();
                        sf::Text tempTxt("str", font, 50);
                        tempTxt.setFont(font);
                        tempTxt.setString(str);
                        tempTxt.setPosition((startX+endX)/2+(startX-endX)/5, (startY+endY)/2+(startY-endY)/5);
                        tempTxt.setCharacterSize(12);
                        tempTxt.setColor(sf::Color(0, 255, 255, 255));
                        window.draw(tempTxt);
                }
        }
//From here and onwards the stack gets randomly corrupted...
        for(int j=0; j<nodes.size(); j++){
                sf::Text tempTxt("str", font, 50);
                tempTxt.setFont(font);
                tempTxt.setString(nodes.at(j)->name);
                tempTxt.setPosition(sf::Vector2f(nodes.at(j)->x, nodes.at(j)->y-20));
                tempTxt.setCharacterSize(12);
                tempTxt.setColor(sf::Color(255, 255, 0, 255));
                window.draw(tempTxt);
                sf::CircleShape temp(5, 60);
                temp.setOrigin(5, 5);
                temp.setPosition(sf::Vector2f(nodes.at(j)->x, nodes.at(j)->y));
                temp.setFillColor(sf::Color(255, 0, 0, 255));
                window.draw(temp);
        }
}

Anything not related directly to the font (which is a private member of the Graph class) works just fine. All the drawables work no problem... This is just so confusing -.-

EDIT: What's even better, none of this happens if I don't load the font -.-

Minimize your code until the mistake becomes obvious, or at least easy to find. Use the debugger to locate the exact position of the problem.
