console_set_custom_font can't find font file about python-tcod HOT 6 CLOSED

I'll need to see some of your error output to know what's going on.

The installation instructions should give you the latest release (7.0.1), but the commit you mentioned hasn't been released yet.

Hmm, I see. Maybe the commit patches my problem? The earliest I can get back to you is Monday next week. I'll check the error message and version then :)

There's a frequent issue where people try to load the font file relative to the current Python module, but you're supposed to load the file relative to the working directory. That patch clarifies things by printing the full path of the file if it doesn't exist at the given location.

I've released a new version with the patch. You should still get an error but it should be more clear what's going wrong.

If you get any error other than the full path of the file then that'd mean something in libtcod was recently broken, or that the font file itself is corrupt.

I'm terribly sorry, I have got my wires crossed. I'm using the setup from Roguebasin which uses the bitbucket C++ version of libtcod.
Turns out I was missing libwinpthread-1.dll, which I grabbed from the bin folder of my msys2 64bit install.

Sorry for the confusion. I should've known the difference based from the presence of the dlls :( Will there be a roguelike tutorial based on python-tcod in future?

from python-tcod.

I'm not sure when there will be a new tutorial, but you can still use any libtcodpy tutorial with python-tcod once it's installed.
