Font Texture is being written incorrectly [Solved]

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

I am trying to update my font rendering code to use vertex buffers and my new shader transformation code. However, when I write the buffered image created in the process to a file, the characters print really incorrectly.

(There is also an issue with a white box for each letter, but getting this issue fixed will further the debugging process.)

Font image when written to a file: http://imgur.com/nYdif7j (I can’t show the image because the font is white and it would be impossible to see)

Source to create the image that isn’t working

// See next post

Any help would be appreciated!

So I got the font texture to write correctly, but now the texture isn’t being drawn, but rather a white box.

How the font is rendered:

  • The font is created as a buffered image and regions are stored
  • The texture is used to create a buffer for each character
  • Buffers are rendered and textures are bound with my fragment shader

However, while my vertex buffer object class typically renders correctly (I use the class for other things), it just doesn’t work for this font and I can’t figure out why.

Any help would be appreciated :slight_smile:

Sorry for triple-posting, but I fixed my issue.

I had to enable alpha testing for my shader-based texturing.
