Hey guys, this morning I've been trying to convert my text into Sans font but I keep falling into many problems <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sleep.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="-_-" border="0" alt="sleep.gif" /> so I wondering if you guys could help me? ( I've been following this tut here ) <a href="http://arikadosblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-to-output-text-from-fonts-with.html" target="_blank">Click me for link</a>

Here is my Makefile: ( Sorry no spoilers dunno how to make one I'll google it later )

I was getting a "Makefile:17: *** missing separator. Stop." Error till I realized I had to press tab, I dunno why it would make a difference though.

And here is my main.c:

ÂÂÂÂprintf("Keeley's 2nd project\n");
ÂÂÂÂprintf("Testing if it is possible to see this line\n");
ÂÂÂÂ
ÂÂÂÂwhile(1) {

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂu16 buttonsDownÂÂÂÂ= WPAD_ButtonsDown(0);

ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂexit(0);
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ}
ÂÂÂÂ}
ÂÂÂÂ
ÂÂÂÂreturn (0);
}<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

So when I try to compile this I get the following errors:

Hell I dunno if I even set up up FreeGX and ftimage right, so here's how I did it:

FreeGX:

1. Downloaded FreeTypePPC, FreeTypeGX, and Metaphrasis.
2. Put all the .h files in C:devkitpro/devkitPPC/powerpc-gekko/include and in the libogc/include
3. Put all the .a files in C:devkitpro/devkitPPC/powerpc-gekko/lib and /libogc/lib/wii

ftimage:

1. Same thing as FreeGX

I know that it was quite lengthy so thanks for bearing withme and helping me!
