SYNOPSIS

10       #include <allegro.h>
11
12
13       void register_font_file_type(const char *ext, FONT *(*load)(const  char
14       *filename, RGB *pal, void *param));
15

DESCRIPTION

17       Informs  the load_font() functions of a new file type, providing a rou‐
18       tine to read fonts in this format. The function you supply must  follow
19       the following prototype:
20
21          FONT *load_my_font(const char *filename, RGB *pal, void *param)
22          {
23             ...
24          }
25
26       The  pal  parameter  can optionally be used to return a palette for the
27       FONT.  The parameter param can be anything you like: you can  use  this
28       to  pass  information to your loading routine, such as for instance the
29       font height, the character range to load or the index number of a  font
30       in a datafile.  If you choose to write your own font loading code, your
31       function should be prepared to deal with a value of NULL for either  of
32       these parameters.
