TTF_RenderText_Solid() returning NULL, no error

SDL Development
1

I am calling TTF_OpenFont() on two ttf files. Both of them are returning
non-NULL TTF_Font pointers.

One of them (chiller.ttf), I am able to render without issue.

The other one (micross.ttf), returns NULL upon TTF_RenderText_Solid() but
TTF_Error()/SDL_Error() returns an empty string. Corrupt font file?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff_________________________________________________________________

Jeff, I’ve had similar problems except I was using the blended version.
What I found is that smaller point sizes failed this way. If go to 14pt
fonts or larger then it seems to work. I believe this is still a bug in the
SDL_ttf system. If you even figure this out then please let me know.
