Drawing on software renderer

ManoShu opened this issue · comments

When compiling my own code and the test project, while using the software renderer, the fonts are loaded but nothing is shown on screen.
Is there something that is needed to make it work?
I need the software renderer to work because i intent to compile to small, ARM-based devices, and OpenGL isn't always available.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Lazy Foo's example on http://lazyfoo.net/tutorials/SDL/16_true_type_fonts/index.php don't work either when changing the renderer to software, so i guess it's something related to SDL itself, maybe there's a workaround about this?

OK, the problem was on the SDL_RenderCopyEx method on the main SDL library and was corrected on latest version on Mercurial

Great! Thanks for following up on this.
