📦 version 4.4.3.1, in fedora 43, fedora 44

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is allegro_404_char(3), straight from the Allegro manual. allegro_404_char is the character used when Allegro cannot find a glyph. main character fallback energy, no cap. 💅

🔥 SYNOPSIS 🔥

#include <allegro.h>

extern int allegro_404_char;

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

the way that Allegro handles missing glyphs is lowkey iconic: when Allegro cannot find a glyph it needs in a font, it will instead output the character given in allegro_404_char. that's the whole vibe, bestie. periodt.

By default, this is set to the caret symbol, ^, but you can change this global to use any other character instead. it's giving "make it yours," fr fr. slay. ✨

Example:

/* Show unknown glyphs with an asterisk. */
allegro_404_char = '*';
