al_load_tt..._stretch_f(3)

💖 al_load_tt..._stretch_f(3) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Library Functions Manual page for al_load_ttf_font_stretch_f. This is the Allegro 5 API function that reads a font from a file handle, and it's giving very specific font-loading energy 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

al_load_ttf_font_stretch_f — Allegro 5 API

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro_ttf.h>

ALLEGRO_FONT *al_load_ttf_font_stretch_f(ALLEGRO_FILE *file,
    char const *filename, int w, int h, int flags)

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So it's like al_load_ttf_font_stretch(3), but the font is read from the file handle. The filename is only used to find possible additional files next to a font file. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

⚠️ Important note, bestie: 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 free it. Not even a little. 😭💀

🎀 SINCE 🎀

5.0.6, 5.1.0

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

💖 footer tea: source/version line is Allegro reference manual, page al_load_tt..._stretch_f(3), and there's literally no date printed on this page — so I'm not inventing one, periodt. 💅🫶
