Hello there, first of all I want to say I'm new to the programming, so I expect I'm making a big basic flaw in my code.

Basically, I was wondering why I'm getting a memory leak and how to fix it. To put things simple, whenever I'm switching between two screens, my memory usage goes up each time.

Lets say I have two screens:

• ScreenA
• ScreenB

In the header files of those two screens, I'm creating sf::Font and sf::Text in the private section. Now in my screenmanager/game, if I do:

• Screen *currentScreen; //A pointer to a Screen class. Both ScreenA and ScreenB inherits from Screen.

If I switch screen by doing:

• currentScreen = new ScreenA();

• delete currentScreen;

• currentScreen = new ScreenB(); //In actual code, it switches properly between A and B.

I'll get a memory leak every time I do it. The font and text are causing it, a new font and text are created each time I switch screens. I'm not sure how to unload/dispose/destroy the text and font. I know in Allegro you can destroy it, but in SFML, I'm not sure how to handle it.
