al_load_ttf_font_f(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_load_ttf_font_f — Allegro 5 API, bestie, straight out of the Library Functions Manual. 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro_ttf.h>

ALLEGRO_FONT *al_load_ttf_font_f(ALLEGRO_FILE *file,
    char const *filename, int size, int flags)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so it’s like al_load_ttf_font(3), except the font gets read from the file handle. Iconic behavior, no cap. 🔥

The filename is only used to find possible additional files next to a font file. That’s literally its whole job, she’s just helping the font find its friends. 🫶

💀 Note: The file handle is owned by the returned ALLEGRO_FONT object and must not be freed by the caller, because FreeType expects to be able to read from it at a later time. Do not touch. Do not free. Respect the handle’s main character energy. 💅
