Problem with BFont lib

SDL Development
1

I tried compiling and running test.c, the example program that comes with
the BFont library. It will not load the images, when it gets to this point
in the LoadFont function in BFont.c:

surface = (SDL_Surface *) IMG_Load(filename);

surface returns NULL (0x00000000). I have used IMG_Load elsewhere with
success.

Can anyone help me? I can’t find too much documentation on BFont, and I
can’t find the SFont library at all. The SFont page seems to be broken.

Thanks,

Hi,

try to get more info by calling IMG_GetError (or something, check the header
file for the exact name).

The SFont files can be downloaded from my page about a utility for BFont and
SFont. This utility might be usefull to you too!:

(I wanted to put the SDL link here, but I couldn’t access it for quit a
while).

Weird,

I already answered but it never showed up…

Try to call IMG-GetError (or something like that) for more info about the
NULL.

SFont can be found here (I ?supply? it together with a utility I wrote)

It gives me the same problem with SFont. The error reported is “Cannot load
file font01.png” But I can get IMG_Load to work elsewhere. Any ideas?
