loadFont not finding fonts in data folder

in Programming Questions • 2 years ago

Hi,

Processing seems to be unable to load fonts for me at all. Here is my program, in its entirety:

class Terminal {
PFont font;
Terminal() {
font = loadFont("Serif-48.vlw");
}
}

It gives the error "java.lang.RuntimeException: Could not load font Serif-48.vlw. Make sure the font has been copied to the data folder of your sketch."

The problem is, it has been. In fact, I created the font using the "Create Font..." option from the Tools menu.

I'm using Processing 1.5.1 on Mac OS X 10.7.1 with the packaged version of Java (1.6.0_26-b03-383).

Odd, works for me..

void setup() {
Terminal t = new Terminal();
}
class Terminal {
PFont font;
Terminal() {
font = loadFont("Serif-48.vlw");
}
}

Maybe you could try this out...

```
 font = createFont("Serif", 48);
```

This works for me, but the problem is I can't package fonts with my app this way...
