🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so, you gotta call this one after al_init_font_addon(3alleg5), no cap. What it does is make al_load_font(3alleg5) actually recognize ".ttf" files — and like, all the other formats that al_load_ttf_font(3alleg5) supports too 🦋

Basically: font addon first, ttf addon second. That's the order, periodt.

It returns true when everything goes right and false when it doesn't. That's it, that's the whole vibe check 💅

lowkey important: don't skip the al_init_font_addon(3alleg5) step, bestie — this addon is the glow-up on top of it, not a replacement 🫶
