Hi I can't seem to adjust the D3DXFONT_DESC properties. Sometimes it breaks at getDesc(...). I want to be able
to have each text row have their own font description and be able to change it. Why is it not working???
Maybe I setting it in the wrong place or maybe it is not being 'set'. (See ::Add)
My great thanks to you who solves it!!!
