| Summary | 0008247: TrueType on OSX only works for 2D print modes | ||||
| Description | I was wondering how to make TTF fonts work on OSX. I've just realised that TTF_Init() is never called. I wonder why the behaviour is different from windows. I've tried this with several truetype settings: [TRUETYPE:NO] [TRUETYPE:YES] [TRUETYPE:24] [TRUETYPE:12] [TRUETYPE:36] Also, pressing <F12> (or Fn+F12 or CMD+Fn+F12) does nothing. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Open the game, press F12 | ||||
| Additional Information | I've hooked up into SDL code to see if the function is called. I saw that TTF_Init is not called. Ever. I've tried to initialise it myself. It does initialise, but the game still does not display truetype fonts. I can load truetype fonts (from inside dwarfort.exe), after initializing the library, but my calls render a "white" window. I haven't investigated much, but as far as I can tell, Dwarf Fortress is not trying to load the font or draw it on the screen. My attempts to draw to an SDL_Surface and display it on the screen have been rendered useless (white window). Maybe because of the presence of the shaders, but I couldn't investigate to that point. I can provide the code to "hook up" on the executable if needed. | ||||

What RENDERER mode are you using? Because if it is not 2D, 2DSW, or 2DASYNC, then TrueType mode will not work. |

I was using VBO. 2D mode fixed the problem (and I can't seem to find where to cancel this bug report). |

One of the moderators will close it. |
