Ok, still having some problems here-- I can't get anything but the default ridiculously tiny font.  I've tried creating multiple other fonts, saving them via file>save as .glfont files in setup and saving them as .png files in setup, and always pressing the 'ok, create' button, but no matter what name I specify in quotes in the LOADFONT statement I always get the original smallfont.  If I load up the font design utility and open the custom fonts they do exist as I left them, so this leads me to believe I am having a directory path issue.  When processing the LOADFONT command where exactly does the compiler look?  What file does it look for, the .png or the .glfont?  In what folder should my projects be saved to ensure they can find all the setup info they need at compile time?

Thanks

Hey all,
I'm new to Mac development entirely, so I'm not really sure how out-of-the-question this might be... Is there any way to use Apple's Interface Builder to design GUIs for GLBasic games?  I know IB is meant to link up to objective-c code from the Xcode IDE, but I'm not sure if that precludes the possibility of using IB for projects created in another programming language/outside of Xcode.

well that did it all right.  Maybe the font issue should have been mentioned on page one of the manual so that the very first 'hello world' example would work...oh well, thanks guys!

Hey all,
I'm just starting up with GLBasic and I'm having a bit of a problem... When I try out a simple

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

PRINT "hello world" ,100,100
SHOWSCREEN
MOUSEWAIT
END
I get nothing but a black screen.  I tried running the sample programs showcasing various GLBasic features (the included hello world program on up to 2D and 3D graphics examples) and I got the same black screen.  I've read the various threads about black screen issues and their common causes, but nothing seems to fix my problem.  What uncommon things could cause a black screen?  Could it be related to directories (i.e. where I've installed GLBasic versus where exactly I'm saving files)?
