nanogui: Thread: font loading error messages?

Why do I always get font "not found" message. even in the fontdemo app 
where it loads times.ttf I get:

fnt_createfont: times.ttf,3 not found
pcf_createfont: times.ttf,3 not found
fnt_createfont: times.ttf,4 not found
pcf_createfont: times.ttf,4 not found
fnt_createfont: times.ttf,5 not found
pcf_createfont: times.ttf,5 not found
fnt_createfont: times.ttf,6 not found
pcf_createfont: times.ttf,6 not found
fnt_createfont: times.ttf,7 not found
pcf_createfont: times.ttf,7 not found

Why do I get thesse message?

Even in my own app I load .pcf fonts. I get these type message even 
though the fonts are loaded by GrCreateFont() and work.

check engine/font_freetype2.c where you'll get some hint on where the 
enginr looks for fonts. You need either MWFONTS pointing to your font 
dir or copy fonts to FREETYPE_FONT_DIR.

PCF are different from ttf...

But, nano-X is finding, creating and using the fonts. So, if they are 
being found, why the error messages?

So you are saying you can see ttf fonts displayed? I that case your ttf 
font support is OK.
I kinda didn't read your first post carefully and concluded that you 
lack correct ttf font location.
After giving it a second look I think this errors are harmless and 
appear due to HAVE_FNT_SUPPORT and HAVE_PCF_SUPPORT being defined and if 
you look at engine/devfont.c those are evaluated before the 
HAVE_FREETYPE_SUPPORT and HAVE_FREETYPE_2_SUPPORT.
I don't know what font support you enabled besides ttf support, but if() 
in both FNT and PCF case above avalutes to true and since you are 
loading ttf and not fnt or pcf they give you error.

I'm using only ttf support and don't see the errors.

I should remove these messages.  These show because the
Microwindows system tries to load the specified font (.pcf)
using the .ttf driver first, which of course fails, with 
the above errmsg.  These messages are all DPRINTFs
in engine/devfont.c::GdCreateFont().  You can comment
them out.  I put them in when I was debugging all the font
loaders.
