Directx version 9.0 & 9.1 problem
Author
I am getting an unhandled exception in the following line
Dim mfont As Mesh = Mesh.TextFromFont(device, lfont, "name", 0.001F, 0.01F)
where lfont is defined as
Private lfont As System.Drawing.Font = New System.Drawing.Font("MS UI Gothic", 16.0, Fontstyle.Regular, GraphicsUnit.World, 100)
The exception is
An unhandled exception of type 'Microsoft.DirectX.Direct3D.Direct3DXException' occurred in microsoft.directx.direct3dx.dll
Additional information: Error in the application.
I am using .net and directx.
This problem happens only with the directx version v9.00.0900(9.0) and it works fine with version v9.00.1126(9.1). Now since the clients are using the older version i am trying to find if it can be fixed.
I used the debug view(thanks to remigus). The output is as follows
[1468] D3DXCreateText: GetOutlineTextMetrics failed. Probably no font selected
[1468] D3DXCreateText: CreateOFContext failed
Anyone having any idea on what can be the problem?
There's no DX 9.1. From an internet search about the version you mentioned, 9.00.1126 would be a managed DLL corresponding to DX 9.0b and a summer 2003 SDK, which is quite old.
I'd suggest moving to something newer. The latest DX version is 9.0c, and it's been out for quite a while (since 2004). D3DX has been further changed since then.

Is there an alternate way to draw the text i.e instead of using Mesh.TextFromFont?
