Fonts do not work - Win 7 x64

Postby McNugget » Sun Oct 30, 2011 1:32 pm

Hi,

I tried your download pack and tested all the examples and think this is a nice engine!
But I can't see any fonts. There is no error message or anything like that. Just nothingness.

Which means, the Hello World app loads a blank screen without any kind of error message...

Any cloues?

Best,
Timo

Hi Timo,
The thing with the demos and tutorials is that they use "font:load_system ( "Arial", 14 )" which is not 100% guaranteed in cases where the user doesn't have "arial.ttf" installed in their system fonts folder.
One thing you can try is loading another font (like "Times") or better yet - load your own font file using: "font:load_file ( "myfont.ttf", 14 )"
If that doesn't work either then it must an engine issue.
Take a look at the "log.txt" file in the engine directory to see what went wrong.
Take care,
Ivan

I remember I fixed a bug where load_system would fail for non-admin users, but I'm not sure if the fix was released.
