Cannot load and use a font in a watch app

Help!

Loading the font like this

fontA = Ui.loadResource(Rez.Fonts.id_font_watch);

then doing this

dc.drawText(20,20,fontA, "READY.", Gfx.TEXT_JUSTIFY_CENTER);

But I don't see anything. The font is defined in resources.xml EXACTLY the same way as in the C64Face example. I've also copied the .fnt and .png from the C64Face example to my /fonts folder EXACTLY the same as the C64Face example.

Would really appreciate it if someone could show me what I've done wrong!? Ta!

can user defined fonts be used in watch face apps?!

ARGHHH!

I think they would be able to since the c64 sample had that working.
I am counting on it to work here soon too.

I just cannot get it to work. I have everything the same as the C64face example, I have checked 5 times!

Do I have to run anything other than simply compiling? Does the rez module need to be manually compiled?

I just don't get it!?

You are clearly doing something wrong. Take a step back and try using the C64Face example. Once you've got that working, figure out what you're doing that is different.

I presume that the solution was found?
Can share it?

Just start out using the C64Face example. It works. Change it do behave like you want, update the font, or whatever you feel you need to do. Just be sure to update the UUID in the manifest before you upload it to the app store.

it ended up being an issue w/ the font i was using. after some playing around w/ the BMFont tool, i managed to get it to work. the web based littera didn't work
