Could not find font DebugFont

[jay81]

Ogre Version: 2.1
OS: Fedora (Linux)

Error: An exception has occured: OGRE EXCEPTION(5:ItemIdentityException): Could not find font DebugFont in TextAreaOverlayElement::setFontName at /path/to/build/ogre/Components/Overlay/src/OgreTextAreaOverlayElement.cpp (line 362)

I am using absolute paths in the resources2.cfg file and the zip file is at the location listed in the resources2.cfg. I'm assuming that the error means that the application was not able to find the font file, but I'm not certain what could cause the error. I thought that maybe it was a permissions thing so I chmod 777 the zip, but it had no effect. I'm probably doing something wrong, but it isn't obvious to me yet.

Thank you for taking the time to review my issue,

At no point in your log there is something like this:

Code: Select all

14:20:29: Creating resource group Essential
14:20:29: Added resource location '/home/matias/Projects/SDK/OgreLatest/Samples/Media/packs/DebugPack.zip' of type 'Zip' to resource group 'Essential'

Which means you could be:

• Loading resources2.cfg too late
• Loading the wrong resources2.cfg
• Not loading it at all
• Incorrectly loading resources2.cfg

Ah ha. Thank you so much! I will look into it right away.

[jay81]

You were correct. I was not loading the resources2.cfg file. Thank you again!
