Full Version: Problem with Allegro fonts

It seems that the Allegro font loading routines havn't been implemented yet into FB. Is there a way I could manually load fonts?
Allegro 4.0.3 and almost the whole 4.1.x series has no function to load fonts. You have to use the Allegro grabber utility to import and store fonts in datafiles, then use the Allegro datafile routines from your program to load the datafile and the font within it.
Latest 4.1.x snapshot and the just release 4.2.0 beta have some functions to directly load fonts, but I haven't investigated in those yet (been out of Allegro development for a while to follow FB closer lately)
Thanks for the response. I'll learn how to use the Allegro grabber utility.
