ah, found the answer here:
i use italic fonts by default - removing the calls made text display again. i see a few different way that i’m setting fonts:
Font getComboBoxFont(ComboBox &box) override
{
return {jmin(15.0f, box.getHeight() * 0.6f), Font::bold | Font::italic};
}
Font getLabelFont(Label &label) override
{
return label.getFont().boldened().italicised();
}
removing the Font::italic or .italicised() makes text display again, i’ll try to repro with a juce example now.
