Hello,

I'm a Java programmer, and am using the Processing.org code outside of an applet. (We're generating PNG graphs based on dynamic data, and applets are really not an option.)

It all works fine, except for the fonts, which show up as blocks. The same code, run as an applet shows the same fonts correctly.

Here's the snippet
Code:

graphics = new PGraphics2D(273, 80, null);
graphics.beginDraw();
graphics.hint(PConstants.ENABLE_NATIVE_FONTS);
graphics.background(255);
graphics.noStroke();
graphics.smooth();
...
//I'm Inheriting from PApplet to use the loadFont method
PFont mon10 = loadFont("c:/Monaco-10.vlw");
graphics.textFont(mon10);
graphics.text("Home", xOffset, yOffset);
 

I'm also drawing a couple of rectangles, which turn out just fine.

Any hints/suggestions? I'd appreciate it greatly.

I'd hate to have to convert to pure java AWT just to get the fonts right.


Thanks

actually, PGraphics2D is not finished, so I'm surprised it's working at all for you.. use PGraphics3D or PGraphicsJava2D for better results (at least until later this summer when it's finished up).

also, you can avoid the ENABLE_NATIVE_FONTS by using the createFont() method to create the font dynamically.
