[not a bug] svn-2594: FTGL # 2 Error = 1282 [invalid operation] ...

[james876]

Today, I tested the svn-2594, discovered a problem: in the game options, I choose the language is Chinese, and then I change the font size, from 0 to 5, I chose the font size is 5, then I entered the game play, this time I found the console an error message: ** FTGL # 2 Error = 1282 [invalid operation] for text [50/300 (0)] currentFTGLErrorCount = 0
 My operating system is: win7 32bit, thank you!

James, once again, please
* report issues in the bug reports forums.
* use more descriptive subjects than "error".

You can put your operating system and version into your forum signature so you don't need to post this every time.

Try the current svn on Chinese and see if the new font works better.

I split up James' post here since it was about two different issues. Here's what he had posted about this issue:

Today I tested the SVN - 2610, When I change the font size, the error appears again. thank you!
This is the console output error message:

Code: [Select]

** FTGL # 2 Error = 1282 [invalid operation] for text [50/150 (0)] currentFTGLErrorCount = 0

[softcoder]

This error will show if you choose a font + font size that cannot display one or more characters of text on a given screen. The good news is that the font code will no longer crash when it tries to render a character that it cannot handle for the current font configuration but will just output such and error to the console. Selecting a different font size or font + font size combination fixes the issue.

Thanks

Error from happening again:(chinese.lng)

Code: [Select]

[.. \ .. \ source \ shared_lib \ sources \ graphics \ gl \ font_textFTGL.cpp:: Shared:: Graphics
 :: Gl:: TextFTGL:: Render] Line 241 Error = 1282 [invalid operation] for text [50/150 (0)]
BTW:I chose the English language, I set the font to 5, into the game play, then I found this problem again (the console output the same error message),
 Wondering why I chose the Chinese language, and then set the font size, font size has not changed, but you can see the English language adaptation of the font size of the effect???

thank you

Read what softcoder wrote above! Use Google translate to understand!

[james876]

I already understand the softcoder write the meaning of those remarks, but this is a real problem, I think it should be repaired.
 If you think that there is no need to fix it, I will give up report on this issue, thank you!

[tomreyn]

The fact that you consider this to be a "real problem" makes me, too, think that you did not really understand that this issue cannot be fixed by us, but depends on which font you use. If you find a good free (CC-BY-SA compatible license) font which can display all characters you need then please let us know.
