GuiBitmapButtonTextCtrl text problem

by Ronald J Nelson · in Torque Game Engine · 07/10/2006 (11:10 am) · 4 replies

I am having a wierd issue with GuiBitmapButtonTextCtrl. It works perfectly on my machine but the moment I send a BETA copy to one of my fellow develpers, the text does not show for him. Any ideas why?

Oh and I tried changing the folder name and moving it to other machines in my home LAN and no problems there.

Have you checked the console.log to make sure its loading fonts properly?

@Ben - I had him send me his copy of the console.log. There are no errors that mention anything with the fonts. I don't know if it is important but he lives in France, is there anything that European systems might have an issue with?

Hi Ron,

Importing custom fonts in 1.4 is broken.

This might be the cause of your problem.

I'm willing to bet that if you uninstall the font that your button is using, from your pc, you will have the same problem.

Here's a thread with a fix:

I'm surprised Ben didn't mention it.

Thanks Tim I am going to try that out. Just need to get a hold off him now, grrrrr darn U.S. to European time differences.
