al_get_glyph_width(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Library Functions Manual — specifically the Allegro 5 API page for al_get_glyph_width. It's giving font-helper main character energy, no cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro_font.h>

int al_get_glyph_width(const ALLEGRO_FONT *f, int codepoint)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

So here's the tea: al_get_glyph_width returns the width in pixels of the glyph that corresponds with codepoint in the font f. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

And if the font does not have such a glyph? It returns zero. Not a crash, not a whole dramatic moment — just 0. 💀

🦋 SINCE 🦋

This one has been around since 5.1.12 — vintage, but still serving. ✨
