printing coloured text LOADFONT tip

[fuzzy70]

Just a quickie. While playing around with the font creator program I had a problem with colours while using opengl commands. The 1st print works perfectly (excuse the colours, they was planned that way as to see the shadow & outline where working), however the 2nd one came out dark (see attached pic).

After a lot of head scratching & commenting/un-commenting the code it works out the glColor3f(0.2, 0.2, 0.2) was to blame, if you set it back to glColor3f(1,1,1) before using print again it comes out as it should.

Just thought I would mention it in case someone else came across it & save them the joys of wondering whats going on 

the testcode (obviously you need a font to load with some colour in it)

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

SETCURRENTDIR("Media")
LOADFONT "smalfont6.png",1
SETFONT 1

//SLEEP 5000
PRINT "Hello", 10,10

glClear(0)

starttime%=GETTIMERALL()

glColor3f(0.2, 0.2, 0.2)
FOR x%=0 TO 799
FOR y%=0 TO 599
//SETPIXEL x%,y%,RGB(100,100,100)
glBegin(GL_LINES)
glVertex2f(x,0)
glVertex2f(x,599)
glEnd()
NEXT
NEXT
//glColor3f(1, 1, 1)
totaltime%=GETTIMERALL()-starttime%
PRINT totaltime%,100,100
SHOWSCREEN
MOUSEWAIT
END
