Bitmap fonts not showing in a scrollView ?!?

Solar2D Daily Builds and Public Releases
#1

I’m currently replacing all of my fonts with snazzier bitmap fonts - everything’s working well… except, it seems that the bitmap fonts wont display when inserted into a scrollView widget.

I’m using the bitmap library posted on the forums a little while back:

It works brilliantly, but just got this problem and think it’s a bug as I just replaced the bitmap font back with a normal font and everything works a-ok again!

Any help would be extremely grateful… [import]uid: 33275 topic_id: 25120 reply_id: 325120[/import]

Just inserted the bitmap fonts to the localGroup display group instead of the scrollView and they’re all showing, so pretty sure this is a bug.

Looking at the bmf.lua library it seems that newString returns a display group containing the bitmap font, I guess inserting display groups into a scrollView might be causing the problem.

Looks like I’m going to have to work around this for now…
