Possible text animator bug

Post by vjgalaxy »

Hi guys, I was playing with the text animator, and I noticed the following issue; it happens with any font in Resolume 6 / Windows 10:

After selecting your desired font, the text animator works correctly, however, when you close/open Resolume those characters you used in the previous session with that specific font does not load anymore. If you try with another font, they work (however, close/open Resolume and you'll get the same issue).

I attached a video. Cheers.

Try closing Arena then deleting the font cache located at "%localappdata%\Resolume Arena 6\atlas":
("C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Resolume Arena 6\atlas")

Then re open Arena.

This looks indeed like a bug.
You can re-generate the font cache by deleting the folder mentioned by t13swift, but before you do that, please zip that folder, and send it to us to mail@resolume.com.

I'm just guessing here, but it looks like the font cache is not written properly to disk, then when you use new characters they are fine in memory, but the old ones were loaded from the disk.
