Do you do anything interesting with the window while it's open? Nope!
You wait for it to close and then you try to draw stuff to it.

if(!font.loadFromFile("font.ttf")){
font.ttf is wrong. you need to specify the name of the font, like arial.ttf.


your Window.display() call isn't in your game loop.
