We are having trouble loading a plain Arial spritefont as an XNB in MonoGame on iOS. I tried this using the latest develop branch. These were made on Windows, then followed up in Xamarin studio for the iOS part: <ul> <li>We have a stub XNA project with a content project with <code><MonoGamePlatform>iOS</MonoGamePlatform></code> defined</li> <li>We also have an <code><Import></code> statement pointing to <code>MonoGame.ContentPipeline.targets</code></li> <li>We referenced <code>MonoGameContentProcessors.dll</code> in the content project</li> <li>Added *.spritefont files with <code>Content Processor</code> set to <code>MonoGame SpriteFont</code></li> <li>Compiled the project, and copied the resulting XNB into an iOS project with build action set to <code>Content</code>.</li> </ul> I tried this in an empty MonoGame project with Arial 9pt, and I get an exception in Texture2D.cs line 228 where it is checking for OpenGL errors. We have other fonts in our game that are built as a <code>MonoGame Spritefont from Texture</code> that work fine. But we can't use this method for some languages (Chinese, especially). I found some other people have this problem: <a href="https://monogame.codeplex.com/workitem/7452" rel="nofollow">https://monogame.codeplex.com/workitem/7452</a> Any ideas? Are fonts working on iOS currently? Here are my compiled XNBs: <a href="https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3702398/Fonts.zip" rel="nofollow">https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3702398/Fonts.zip</a> UPDATE: tried Arial 9, 12, 14, 16, as I heard certain sizes were causing issues. None of them worked. Opened issue here: <a href="https://github.com/mono/MonoGame/issues/2005" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/mono/MonoGame/issues/2005</a>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
