DirectX : could not load built-in font

Post by izguit »

Heya
When I choose DirectX 9.0c or 8.1 as renderer, i get this error :
"ERROR: Could not load built-in Font"
Strange, dxdiag confirms that 9.0c release has been installed.
Ideas?
thx

Have you compiled the irrlicht.dll yourself or are you using the precompiled ones, and which version of the dll are you using? gcc or visual studio

Any other details you can offer would help us also.

In previous releases the gcc dll did not include DirectX drivers such that it won't work at all. I'd assume that this still holds for 1.0 so it's not a font problem but a missing driver problem. Maybe someone will provide a complete gcc dll at some point. Or is the new gcc dll now fully featured?
