Hi,
I use a PApplet as part of an Java Application. This PApplet uses own fonts (as *.ttf) included in a data folder inside the jar file. Running the Application from Eclipse works fine and the font i loaded from the data folder.
Running the compiled jar file does not work, since the path of the font is:

Code:

C:/BC.jar!/BC/data 

the path is generated with

Code:

this.getClass().getResource("data/").getPath() 

.

processing does not load the font via

Code:

PFont test = createFont("C:/BC.jar!/BC/data/myFont.ttf"); 

Is there any possibility to access data inside the compiled jar file? It will be great, because the application will not depend on any special data (font) folders on the running machine.

Thanks,
Stefan

I have used createInput(filename) to access files packaged into the .jar file from the data directory.  I think if you're trying to load a font from that directory, what you want is loadFont(fontname).

It sounds as if you're building your .jar file using Eclipse, which I haven't used.  Have you tried using the Processing IDE to compile your project?  loadFont() or createInput() should work.  I suspect that whatever steps you're using to build the .jar file may not be including files from the data directory properly.
