al_set_fallback_font(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so we're in the Library Functions Manual, and this is the al_set_fallback_font(3) page — al_set_fallback_font - Allegro 5 API, bestie. Short name section, but it ate. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro5/allegro_font.h>

void al_set_fallback_font(ALLEGRO_FONT *font, ALLEGRO_FONT *fallback)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so this one sets a font which is used instead if a character is not present. It can be chained, but make sure there is no loop as that would crash the application! 🫶

Pass NULL to remove a fallback font again. Literally that's the cleanup move.

🚨 bestie warning: chaining is allowed, but a loop is not the vibe — it will crash the application. Do not do that, periodt.

✨ SINCE ✨

5.1.12 — that's when this icon showed up. ⭐
