Possible Font bug ???

Xandar · Post by **Xandar** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 8:14 pm

I can't load the new fonts created using new IrrFontTool. When i try to load it it returns me an error message:

"The amount of upper corner pixels or lower corner pixels is == 0, font file may be corrupted."

I am using this font:

I also noticed that the font images created using old IrrFontTool have some red pixels, or something like that in the corners.

Old font:

show the code you using to load the font.

before you doing this -- check what file do you trying to load, you should load XML file not a graphic image file format.

That first font won't load, it needs the proper upper and lower pixel indicators( notice they are in the second font ). Just use the old font tool for now.

show the code you using to load the font.

I'm not stupid. I know how to load font.

Code: Select all

pSkin = pIrrGUI->getSkin();
pFont = pIrrGUI->getFont("font.png");
if(pFont)
        pSkin->setFont(pFont);

ok ok,

i thought you trying using 1.3 fonts ... 1.3 version just released ... so i was thinking of ...

p.s.: besides xml-fonts very tasty ... antialiasing ... very nice looking.

I think the new tool cannot generate the old font files. So use the new method for loading here, too.

The new loading method of fonts, is that not the following?

Code: Select all

irr::gui::IGUIFont* pFont = pGui->getFont("..\\datas\\comicsans_12px.xml");
	if(pFont != NULL)
		pSkin->setFont(pFont);

If the above is correct, then I am having a problem with the font being successfully loaded. The font xml file, is not a vector font, and the generated font png file is in the same directory as the xml. Is this a bug, or not fully added feature; or just user error as with most of my problems?

it's a bug, sorry about that.. currently the image files are loaded relative to the current dir, so you'll have to edit the xml file and put the same path in.
for example- "../datas/comicsans_12px.png"

I've made a patch that uses the image paths in the XML relative to the XML file itself.
