ofxUI - runtime error loading font

beginners
#1

Hi ,

I am trying to use ofxUI.
I created a slider. No complaints at comilation. But at runtime , i get this error :

  
  
[ error ] ofTrueTypeFont: drawString(): font not allocated: line 1077 in E:\OPEN  
_FRAMEWORK\of_v0.8.0_win_cb_release\libs\openFrameworks\graphics\ofTrueTypeFont.  
cpp

does anybody know how to solve that ?

there’s probably a ttf font file in the examples that you need to copy to your bin/data folder

I get a similar error in android, have you guys found the solution for this?

ofxUI defines default sans-serif font in ofxUIDefines.h. It seems that font dosn’t exist in my android system, so I changed that to verdana.ttf, and copied verdana.ttf from androidFontExample/bin/data into my bin/data. That solved the problem.
