hi folks, i have tried the following piece of code :-

dbSetTextFont( "Arial.ttf" );
dbSetTextSize( 48 );
dbText(10,10,"Please wait loading image files");

it will not work for me i am assuming Darkgdk can display windows fonts, so what am i doing wrong here ?

Silly me i found y it was not doing anything. Simple really !!!
After i changed screen mode everything was black.
A simple clear screen to a color solved the problem.
I must stop staying up all hours cos my brain is frying LOL...

Remove dbWait() and place a loop with dbSync() after dbText().
