DESCRIPTION

14       Loads  a TrueType font from a file using the FreeType library.  Quoting
15       from the FreeType FAQ this means support for many different  font  for‐
16       mats:
17
18       TrueType, OpenType, Type1, CID, CFF, Windows FON/FNT, X11 PCF, and oth‐
19       ers
20
21       The size parameter determines the size the font will  be  rendered  at,
22       specified  in  pixels.  The standard font size is measured in units per
23       EM, if you instead want to specify the size  as  the  total  height  of
24       glyphs in pixels, pass it as a negative value.
25
26              Note:  If  you  want to display text at multiple sizes, load the
27              font multiple times with different size parameters.
28
29       The following flags are supported:
30
31       • ALLEGRO_TTF_NO_KERNING - Do not use any kerning even if the font file
32         supports it.
33
34       • ALLEGRO_TTF_MONOCHROME  -  Load  as a monochrome font (which means no
35         anti-aliasing of the font is done).
36
37       • ALLEGRO_TTF_NO_AUTOHINT - Disable the Auto Hinter which is enabled by
38         default in newer versions of FreeType.  Since: 5.0.6, 5.1.2
