[Resolved] Text not displaying on real device

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hi all,

I have been trying to make my text display onto the real device while it shows up on the simulator fine and have not had any luck. I am using a outside font. I’ve read some other posting about this problem and from what i gather my font isn’t supported on the device. Is there any way to get the font working on the device with display.newText()? Here are my build settings. Virgo.ttf is the font i am using.

Thanks,
Chris

– Supported values for orientation:
– portrait, portraitUpsideDown, landscapeLeft, landscapeRight

settings = {

orientation = {
default = “landscapeRight”,
content = “landscapeRight”,
supported = { “landscapeRight”, }
},

iphone = {
plist = {
UIStatusBarHidden = false,
UIPrerenderedIcon = true, – set to false for “shine” overlay
–UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend = true, – uncomment to quit app on suspend
UIAppFonts = {
“virgo.TTF”,
}

–[[
– iOS app URL schemes:
CFBundleURLTypes =
{
{
CFBundleURLSchemes =
{
“fbXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”, – example scheme for facebook
“coronasdkapp”, – example second scheme
}
}
}
–]]
}
},

–[[
– Android permissions

androidPermissions = {
“android.permission.INTERNET”,
},

Hi
Make sure to use the same case as the filename
Virgo.ttf is not the same as virgo.TTF

and try some other font to make sure your code is correct
