Cannot load a font during frame rendering about hello_imgui

Hi,

Thanks for sharing your demo code, it makes it easier to answer.

Fonts need to be loaded at the appropriate moment during initialization. I updated a demo example to showcase how to load fonts.

First, you will need to create a function (or lambda) for loading the font:

hello_imgui/src/hello_imgui_demos/hello_imgui_demo_classic/hello_imgui_demo_classic.main.cpp

Lines 4 to 11 in 0a2859a

	// Demonstrate how to load additional fonts (fonts - part 1/3)
	ImFont * gCustomFont = nullptr;
	void MyLoadFonts()
	{
	HelloImGui::ImGuiDefaultSettings::LoadDefaultFont_WithFontAwesomeIcons(); // The font that is loaded first is the default font
	gCustomFont = HelloImGui::LoadFontTTF("fonts/Akronim-Regular.ttf", 40.f); // will be loaded from the assets folder
	}

Then, you need to use RunnerParams and fill the correct callback:

hello_imgui/src/hello_imgui_demos/hello_imgui_demo_classic/hello_imgui_demo_classic.main.cpp

Lines 15 to 22 in 0a2859a

	HelloImGui::RunnerParams params;
	params.appWindowParams.windowGeometry.size = {1280, 720};
	params.appWindowParams.windowTitle = "Dear ImGui example with 'Hello ImGui'";
	params.imGuiWindowParams.defaultImGuiWindowType = HelloImGui::DefaultImGuiWindowType::NoDefaultWindow;
	// Fonts need to be loaded at the appropriate moment during initialization (fonts - part 2/3)
	params.callbacks.LoadAdditionalFonts = MyLoadFonts; // LoadAdditionalFonts is a callback that we set with our own font loading function

And then use the font:

hello_imgui/src/hello_imgui_demos/hello_imgui_demo_classic/hello_imgui_demo_classic.main.cpp

Lines 40 to 43 in 0a2859a

	// Demo custom font usage (fonts - part 3/3)
	ImGui::PushFont(gCustomFont);
	ImGui::Text("Custom font");
	ImGui::PopFont();
