Disappearing fonts?

by Keith Johnston · in Torque Game Engine · 01/19/2004 (5:41 am) · 1 replies

Has anyone seen a problem where some systems cannot display the fonts? My friend is trying to run a demo of a game I am working on and the fonts do not appear on buttons or in text fields.

When you load a font the Torque first looks for a cached version in the common/ui/cache directory if one cannot be found it tries to create it based on a system font with the same name.

If your friend does not have the system truetype font installed that you are using then the fonts will not show up UNLESS you copy your cache folder too. We ALWAYS recommend shipping the cache folder with any game as you never know what the end user might or might not have installed.
