So I am trying to draw a font using Slick2D’s UnicodeFont. The code that loads the font:

Font font = new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 20);
UnicodeFont uFont = new UnicodeFont(font);
uFont.addAsciiGlyphs(); 
uFont.getEffects().add(new ColorEffect(java.awt.Color.BLACK));
uFont.loadGlyphs();

It’s more or less copied and pasted from the wiki. Next, during a frame I use gluOrtho2d() and reset the projection and modelview matrices. Then I call 

this.font.drawString(100, 50, "some text goes here");

to actually draw the text. But all I get is an empty screen, an no errors of any kind.
