This was posted a while ago on the advanced board. Does anyone know anything about the error 0x8 (out of memory error) caused by wglUseFontOutlines? I’m using a very simple call;
this happens whatever I do to the numbers in the call, even if I reduce it to one single character or copy the example out of the MSDN website verbatim (with non-NULL final parameter). Something strange is going on.
Surely this is common enough to have happened to plenty of other people? wglUseFontBitmaps works fine, and I have a nice graphics card (128Mb) and plenty of RAM so neither of those is a problem.
Hi Colin, I had exactly this error but some months ago now. If you can wait until tomorrow I will dig deep into my code to see if I left myself any hints From (dodgy) memory: are you calling it several times? I seem to remember being able to call it error free the first time only.
