Using TTFont

tkhnoman

Regarding using TTFont.
On my case, it runs on Windows, and internet-connected iOS application.

When i disconnect any connection, my App will crash, saying "Font.ttf: No such file or directory."
This crash will always happen on Gideros iOS player.

Did any of you experienced this? Or must i do something before using TTFont?

Thanks.

If you replace that specific font with some other, does the same thing happen? Aka it happens with every font?

tkhnoman

Yes, it happened on all font. Even Tahoma.ttf.

Problem solved:
The problem is that i loaded TTFont each time i want to create a TextField.

You loading Fonts from the web instead of locally?

tkhnoman

No. The error just behave like that, that is why it is more confusing for me.
I just realize about this crash when i tried my app without internet connection(blackout happened), and somehow it crash.

I just wrongly load TTFont on each init.

Well, i think Gideros's team can manage to solve this one, like checking whether the TTFont already loaded, or something like that.

@tkhnoman this is a weird bug, hopefully gideros team will notice

Yes, an odd one, a ttf font you might need different sizes of the same font for different locations, but to do different sizes you have to load the font for each, it would be better if init could load the font and then a ttfont:text("some text",size) would then sprite it for display.
