Text shows up as black boxes

[Max_M]

Whenever I try to display text on the screen, it shows black boxes instead of text.

For example, when you win, this code executes:

 

local font = Font:Load("Fonts/arial.ttf", 48)
context:SetFont(font)
context:DrawText("YOU WIN!", context:GetWidth()/2, context:GetHeight()/2)

 

But the text "YOU WIN!" shows up black boxes on the screen instead of letters.

Set it to alpha first then back to solid after:

 

context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)

local font = Font:Load("Fonts/arial.ttf", 48)

context:SetFont(font)

context:DrawText("YOU WIN!", context:GetWidth()/2, context:GetHeight()/2)

context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Solid)

context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Solid)

When I try that, the text doesn't show up at all.

Shows fine for me in white text. Maybe you need to set the color first.

 

context:SetColor(1,0,0,1)

That worked. Thank you very much!
