Okay, so I checked the Sha1 sums of the fonts, they seem to be the same as yours:
2c078150376bc66e2a4a20ffa6bbbe7a5c03e752 Facile Sans.ttf
723ce6489b30fed829e7763db700d50dfc4e26c1 Facile Sans.otf
Here is a screenshot of the Synaptic Package Manager, I searched for "libfreetype". It looks like I have the same libfreetype version.
Again, here is the code I used:
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(500, 500), "Example");
sf::Font font;
font.loadFromFile("Facile Sans.ttf");
sf::Text text;
text.setFont(font);
text.setPosition(0, 0); // (0, -20) looks good
text.setCharacterSize(84);
text.setString("Text");
text.setColor(sf::Color::Black);
while (window.isOpen())
{
sf::Event event;
while (window.pollEvent(event))
{
if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
window.close();
}
window.clear(sf::Color::White);
window.draw(text);
window.display();
}
return 0;
}
I use the bugfix/font_fix branch of SFML. (
https://github.com/SFML/SFML/tree/bugfix/font_fix)
I hope this helps. If you need more information, just ask for it.
