Bug 332

Summary: TTF_RenderText_Solid
Product: SDL_ttf Reporter: mko <mko.93>
Component: miscAssignee: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Status: RESOLVED INVALID QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: critical    
Priority: P2 CC: mko.93
Version: unspecified   
Hardware: x86   
OS: Linux   

Description mko 2006-09-23 16:32:08 UTC 
TTF_RenderText_Solid method does not work any more since the sdl-ttf-2.0.8.
After analyse, the second parameter (char* text) does not accept a string with one or more spaces. In this case, the string will not be displayed. 

For information, I work on a gentoo linux with amd64 processor, and I use the libsdl 1.2.11

This is a known bug in FreeType and is fixed in their CVS.

Reference; http://www.mail-archive.com/freetype@nongnu.org/msg00802.html


As a workaround, building SDL_ttf with v2.1.10 or earlier may solve the problem.

if it helps at all:


SDL_Color color={0,0,0};
SDL_Surface *text_surface;
text_surface=TTF_RenderText_Solid(font,"Hello World!",color);
printf("Error: %s\n", TTF_GetError());

returns

Error: Failed loading DPMSDisable: /usr/lib/libX11.so.6: undefined symbol: DPMSDisable


but I guess we just have to live with it not working until FreeType has another release and it is picked up by most distros :(

(Not an SDL bug, resolving bug entry.)
