Question

I’m trying to export a font so that you don’t have to install the font to run the game
it’s working in eclipse but exporting it doesn’t work

the folder structure is as following:

Project_name
   /src
      -Core(package)
      -game(package)
   /Fonts
      -Origin-Light.ttf

I load the font in with following command:

font = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT,
                       new FileInputStream("./Fonts/Origin-Light.ttf"));

in eclipse it’s working just fine, but exporting doesn’t seem to load in the font

edit:
Structure in jar file:

/core
  - main.class
  - ....
/Fonts
  - Origin-Light.ttf
/game
  - otherclasses.class
/META-INF
  - MANIFEST.MF
/org
  /eclipse
    some more folders

Answer 1

Put the fonts folder inside of your source folder, I believe that’s the issue:

Project_name
  /src
     /Fonts
        -Origin-Light.ttf
     -Core(package)
     -game(package)

Resolved in chat, final code:

try { 
    font = Font.createFont(Font.TRUETYPE_FONT, 
            trial.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("Fonts/Origin-Light.ttf")); 
} catch (Exception e) { 
    e.printStackTrace();
}
