I tried following the tutorial but its not working at all!
Code: Select all
void CGuiLayer::setFont (const char * file)
{
IGUISkin* skin = guienv->getSkin();
IGUIFont* font = guienv->getFont(file);
if (font)
{
skin->setFont(font);
}
}
and the string I'm passing it is "BigBoldArial.bmp"
BigBoldArial.bmp was created by the font tool and placed in the debug filter however the font isnt changeing I'm really confused =(
the problem is on the getFont (file); line because its not giving font anything to point to and never jumps inside the if-statement

IGUISkin* skin = guienv->getSkin();
IGUIFont* font = guienv->getFont("./Media/Currier.bmp");

CGuiLayer::setFont (
may be you dont set the correct path

Check the console to see if Irrlicht is having trouble finding the font file you're trying to load, possibly your path is wrong.

Does your IDE have a "resources folder" set which it basically sets as the root folder? I know my Java IDE did that, but then it still worked the same wherever you called it from!
