[Solved: NW bug] Black box fonts with Node Webkit

Hey, it's been a while since I've been around!

I thought I'd get back on C2 to play with the new stuff

This actually appeared on a previous project that used to display fonts fine

Could actually be a bug in a new version of Node Webkit instead?

It may be related to that,

but I doubt I'm already exceeding texture sizes in this case?

Problem Description

Node webkit preview shows black bounding boxes or nothing instead of characters

Attach a Capx

Description of Capx

Three text boxes of various sizes

Steps to Reproduce Bug

• Startup TEXT appears fine
• Press A and B to change text boxes

Observed Result

Bigger boxes get glitches

Expected Result

Nice and shinny fonts

Affected Browsers

• Chrome: NO
• FireFox: NO
• Node Webkit: YES

Operating System and Service Pack

Win 8

Construct 2 Version ID

174

But yeah, i fixed it myself and submitted it to Roger Wang in form of a pull request to fix it in NW.

He merged the pull request and if you want it working, download the new Node Webkit version and use that,

or just wait till the new C2 version comes with the updated NW.

Sweet :]

I replaced my nodewebkit with the last version and it works indeed now

Thanks mate

Yo, lemo - can you tell me how you did that? I want to try and see if it fixes another issue im having with my nodewebkit build not working properly on OSX..

Thanks man.

[quote:1d8l1gzl]1. You download an Updated version of Node-Webkit. (Win32)

2. You extract the files from the ZIP.

3. Then you copy the 6 files (You don't need Credits.html) into this location: %WhereC2IsInstalled%/Construct2/exporters/html5/node-webkit/win32/

Could be that i got the Construct 2 installation folder name wrong, since i have the Steam version it's a bit different (Not from /exporters)

4. (...)

5. Now you can export your project, (...) and then enjoy NW10 (...), together with Chromium 35.

I hope that helped —
