With a DrawingArea you'd have a block like this:
Draw.Begin(DrawingArea)
Draw.Font.Size = 10
Draw.Text(...)
Draw.End
With SDL/OpenGL you have a procedure that is the draw event:
Public Sub Screen_Draw()
Draw.Font.Size = 10
Draw.Text(...)
End
The SDL draw event procedure seems to behave the same way as a
Draw.Begin ... Draw.End block. I tried this:
Draw.Font.Load("/home/kevinfishburne/Desktop/Sanctimonia,
Server/Images/Font/Avatar.ttf")
It doesn't throw an error, but doesn't change the font either. At some
point after that for no apparent reason it then throws the error "gb.sdl
error: Couldn't open /usr/local/share/gambas3/gb.sdl/DejaVuSans.ttf in
Render 834". If I use just "Font.Load("...")" it exhibits the same
behavior but the error message reflects the Avatar.ttf font instead of
DejaVuSans. Weird.
