[Plib-users] problem with fnt and release mode

[Eric D. <sre...@ho...>]

Hello,

I am compiling the font library using MSVC++ 5.0. When I compile in =
debug mode, everything is working fine, but when I compile the library =
in release mode, the output text is trashy. Only the first letter is =
right.

Does anyone ever had that problem?

Eric

Me too, anyone interested can look at images in
ftp://ftp.cira.it/paolo/plib/fnt/ (plib 1.3.1, examples 1.1.8, fnt_test a=
nd
PUI's complex, same in 1.2.0 and earlier). Everything else in plib is ok.
My configuration for plib is:
- Work: NT4-SP4, Matrox Millennium G200 latest drivers (OGL ICD), Cygnus
B20.2 gcc 2.95.2
- Home: Windows98, Matrox Marvel G200 latest drivers, same dev env

Greetings -

I can confirm that too.  My matrox users have no fonts displaying at all.

And I use LOTS of text.  http://www.avsim.com/hangar/utils/freefd

Hey Paolo

Do yourself a favor and upgrade your Cygnus enviroment
It has come a long ways since B20.x   :-)))

[Sam S. <sa...@sp...>]

Well I can suggest a few things that could be the cause of this problem.  Try turning off all the optimisations for your release
build and see if that has an affect.

If that doesn't then the only thing I can think of is VC++'s stupid variable initialisation. In debug mode VC++ zero's or NULLs all
values, but in release mode they just just get set to random crap.  Very stupid I know (surely you really want the random values
when you are *debugging*?), but that could be hiding an obscure bug in this instance.
