Hi, I'm attempting to render a text using a custom font, however, its just drawing rectangles. The bitmap image is in src/main/resources/assets/examplemod/textures/font

 

Example ingame: https://imgur.com/a/DjMTVla

 

Current code:

	private Minecraft mc;
	private FontRenderer fontRenderer;
	
	public ExampleMod() {
		FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus().addListener(this::onClientSetup);
		MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(this);
	}
	
	public void onClientSetup(FMLClientSetupEvent event) {
		mc = Minecraft.getInstance();
		fontRenderer = new FontRenderer(mc.textureManager, new Font(mc.textureManager, new ResourceLocation("examplemod", "textures/font/ascii.png")));
	}
	
	@SubscribeEvent
	public void onRenderGameOverlay(RenderGameOverlayEvent.Post event) {
		AbstractGui.fill(5, 5, 30, 30, new Color(255, 0, 255, 5).getRGB());
		fontRenderer.drawString("test", 5, 5, new Color(255, 0, 0, 255).getRGB());
	}

I've slightly modified my code as I checked the class where minecraft does this natively with its own font, but doesnt seem to work either, same result as before.

 

	private Minecraft mc;
	private FontRenderer fontRenderer;
	
	public ExampleMod() {
		FMLJavaModLoadingContext.get().getModEventBus().addListener(this::onClientSetup);
		MinecraftForge.EVENT_BUS.register(this);
	}
	
	public void onClientSetup(FMLClientSetupEvent event) {
		mc = event.getMinecraftSupplier().get();
	}
	
	@SubscribeEvent
	public void onRenderGameOverlay(RenderGameOverlayEvent.Post event) {
		if(fontRenderer == null) { //Temporarily define it here for testing, as I get a the error Exception caught during firing event: Rendersystem called from wrong thread on the onClientSetup
			fontRenderer = mc.getFontResourceManager().getFontRenderer(new ResourceLocation("examplemod", "textures/font/ascii.png"));
		}
		AbstractGui.fill(5, 5, 30, 30, new Color(255, 0, 255, 5).getRGB());
		fontRenderer.drawString("test", 5, 5, new Color(255, 0, 0, 255).getRGB());
	}

 

Solved, anyone who has the same problem can use this git as an example. https://github.com/Vazkii/Patchouli
