Which version of SFML are you using ? If it's not the current SVN one, then forget about it : fonts and text rendering have been completely redone

Otherwise, screenshots could help.

I use the SVN version and the screen looks like this:

All those texts should be centered in the screen and as you can see they are not.

Can you show us the corresponding code (should be very short) ?

This is the code i use to place each of the options:

Code: [Select]

void MenuScene::addOption(string opt, float offset)
{
	sf::String* s = new sf::String(opt);
	s->SetSize(40);
	float width = s->GetRect().GetWidth();
	s->SetCenter(width/2.0, 20);
	s->SetPosition(400, nextOption+offset);
	s->SetColor(sf::Color::Red);
	nextOption += (60+offset);
	mOptions.push_back(s);
}

Since i haven't really got the hang of fonts i dont use it just accept the default.

There was a bug in the sf::String rendering. It's now fixed.

Thanks for your help
