can't find font file in ccaptchaaction

[manuel-84]

in CCaptchaAction please change line 143 from

$this->fontFile = dirname(__FILE__) . '/Duality.ttf';

to

$this->fontFile = dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'Duality.ttf';

this resolve this error on windows

Hmm… captcha works fine for me and I'm under windows.

This happens almost randomly. All was working fine for me too, until you asked me to try code from master, I tried flushing cache and assets of my app but the error won't fix until I've added DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.
Restarting Apache seems to fix the problem too but why don't close any problem definitely fixing this line...this is so trivial..

The correct line of code to edit was 243 not 143

'/' should not be a problem as any Windows(and DOS >= 2) should understand that.

edit: googled and corrected

[manuel-84]

I know that.. and I'm on win64

[samdark]

@manuel-84 Are you sure this change really fixes your problem? To me it looks like it was fixed somehow differently and the change itself isn't necessary.

[suralc]

Works fine for me on win 7 x64 and latest ubuntu server(as virtual machine).
Tested with master.

is your apache/windows config messed up somehow?

[manuel-84]

I can reproduce this error switching the framework version behind my app (last-release vs master-repo) and then returning back to the original.
The result is

And the only 2 way to fix that are restart Apache or add directory_separator

@suralc can you try to reproduce it?
