LÖVE

I have a file called pong within that is main.lua and font.ttf and my program runs this code ->

mainFont = love.graphics.newFont('font.ttf', 9)
-- used to enter a new font style into memory for use
love.graphics.setFont(mainFont)
However, this gives me an error code, new to this so I have no clue what's wrong. Hope you can help?

It has to be in the same folder as your main.lua file, because you didn't specify in which folder your font file is.

main.lua and font.ttf are within the same folder named 'pong'

Check the spelling because it looks for exact match.

Error
Could not open file font.ttf. Does not exist.

Is the file called 'font.ttf' exactly? Or is it like 'Font.ttf'?

Are you sure that the main.lua file you're running is the same that is in the same folder as the font?

There are also a few more things that could be wrong if you're using Windows, like having file extension visibility disabled and having the file called 'font.ttf.ttf'.
