✨ font ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the font page of the Allegro manual — a simple 8x8 fixed size font, and yes she is iconic for it 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

extern FONT *font;

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so like, font is a simple 8x8 fixed size font — literally the mode 13h BIOS default, the OG, the blueprint, the moment. it's giving "I was born in a ROM and I've been serving looks ever since" 😌✨

now here's the tea, bestie: if you wanna alter the font used by the GUI routines, you just point this thing at one of your own fonts instead. swap her out, make it yours, main character energy only 🫶

and the character ranges she carries? absolutely stacked:

  • standard ASCII, U+20 to U+7F
  • Latin-1, U+A1 to U+FF
  • Latin Extended-A, U+0100 to U+017F

no cap, that's a full wardrobe right there 🌈👑

💖 SEE ALSO 💖
