Problems with LoadFont

I'm trying to implant fonts into my program. And I used the following code in my program:
int textFont;
textFont = LoadFont("res\fonts\font3_vw.gif");
EnableVariableWidth(textfont);
But every single time I try and to run it, I keep getting a: system.vc(16): Expecting a variable or function declaration - do you have a missing brace?(textFont)
Can someone help me out here. I've checked out all of my code and everything seems to be in order.

My guess is that you need to use backslashes instead of forward slashes ala
int textFont;
textFont = LoadFont("res/fonts/font3_vw.gif");
EnableVariableWidth(textfont);
Also, I just remembered, I can't get fonts to display on the screen at all unless I load them as .png files.

Never mind. I just had the function outside of a function. Works smoothly now. My mistake.

Actually, what you wrote are forward slashes, while what spaceseel wrote are backslashes. :P

If Verge case sensitive? If so, then you might want to capitalize the F in the textFont in the variable width function.

Hey man, that was totally uncalled for. Don't make me whip out the momma insults. ;)

All jocularity aside, I honestly wish I had the capability of adding avatar myself.

Yeah, you have to submit an Avatar Requisition Form to your local service representative. By which I mean, "bug grue." They're only for people who have contributed in some way to the community, but you've done that neat demo so I imagine that counts. It's possible that the current website bugs are somehow preventing new avatars from being added, though, I dunno.

Well, since Grue's often a busy person, you can always bug me to add your avatar too. You just gotta send the image to us and someone can upload it.

As far as I know, Verge IS case sensitive. This may well be your problem. Make sure you use the same arrangement of capital and lowercase letters whenever you type a variable or function name.

I'm pretty sure it's not, actually. vecna has always been a fierce opponent of case-sensitivity.

verge is not case sensitive, and never has been. Also, this was a very simple thing for anyone to test. ;)

W'ere being Aristotelean about it. We should be able to deduce its case-sensitivity or lack thereof from first principles without resource to empirical observation.
