font(3)

✨ hey bestie, welcome to font(3) from the Allegro manual ✨

okay so this is the Allegro manual page for font(3), and it’s lowkey iconic because it’s literally a whole font in one variable. no cap. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

font — a simple 8x8 fixed size font. Allegro game programming library. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro.h>

extern FONT *font;

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

It’s giving simple, it’s giving 8x8, it’s giving fixed size: font is a simple 8x8 fixed size font — specifically the mode 13h BIOS default. 👑

If you want to alter the font used by the GUI routines, change this to point to one of your own fonts. Like, the main character font pointer can be swapped out for your own fave. 💅

This font contains the standard ASCII (U+20 to U+7F), Latin-1 (U+A1 to U+FF), and Latin Extended-A (U+0100 to U+017F) character ranges. So many ranges, so much range. 🌈

bestie, don’t sleep on the exact ranges: U+20 to U+7F, U+A1 to U+FF, and U+0100 to U+017F. 🫶

kisses and Allegro manual vibes: this is from the Allegro manual, version 4.4.3, and the footer said font(3) too. No date was in the footer, so that’s the whole sign-off. byeeee 💖✨
