I’m attempting to be taught the fundamentals of Monogame, and I’ve efficiently found out how you can use the Monogame Content Pipeline to load and show photographs on the display. When I attempt to do the identical with fonts, by loading a font known as galleryFont.spritefont into the Monogame Content Pipeline every thing is ok.

However, the issue happens once I run the mission. I get an error that appears like this:

As you may see as properly, the file is loaded, however what I seen what was unusual was that the monogame content material pipeline didn’t save the file as an .xnb file within the Content/bin folder.

Or for the reason that error stated, “Could not discover Arial font file,” does this imply I must in some way obtain the Arial font.ttf and hyperlink it in some way in my .spritefont file? Here is the .spritefont file if anybody is .

<?xml model="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    <!--

    <!-- <DefaultCharacter>*</DefaultCharacter> -->

        <End>&#126;</End>
      </CharacterRegion>
