{edit}*** SOLUTION FOUND. VIEW MY SOLUTION
Okay, I'm at my wits end.
I have tried countless times to use a different font with Allegro with no results.
I've heard people say use AllegTTF.....could not get that working.
AllegFont....cannot compile the source for it...several hundred errors pointing at allegro???
I am truly going crazy at this point.
I ask someone here that has the secret to using fonts with allegro, to step forth and tell me step by step how the hell to do it please!

Okay.....a new approach to AllegFont resulted in success! :D
and.....could not get AllegTTF to work. ttf2pcx is a bitch.
anyway, for anyone who would like to know, here is a quick example using AllegFont to use a TrueType font:
| Code: |
#include <allegro.h>
#include <alfont.h>
BITMAP* backbuffer;
ALFONT_FONT* newfont;
int main ()
{
allegro_init ();
install_timer ();
install_keyboard ();
set_color_depth (16);
set_gfx_mode (GFX_AUTODETECT_WINDOWED, 800, 600, 0, 0);
backbuffer = create_bitmap (SCREEN_W, SCREEN_H);
clear (backbuffer);
if (ALFONT_OK != alfont_init ())
{
allegro_exit ();
return 1;
}
newfont = alfont_load_font ("coolfont.ttf");
if (NULL == newfont)
{
alfont_exit ();
allegro_exit ();
return 1;
}
alfont_set_font_size (newfont, 24);
while (!key[KEY_ESC])
{
int x = backbuffer->w / 2;
int y = backbuffer->h / 2;
int c = makecol (255, 255, 255);
alfont_textout_centre (backbuffer, newfont, "Hello World!", x, y, c);
alfont_textout_centre_aa (backbuffer, newfont, "Hello World!", x, y+96, c);
blit (backbuffer, screen, 0, 0, 0, 0, backbuffer->w, backbuffer->h);
}
alfont_destroy_font (newfont);
destroy_bitmap (backbuffer);
alfont_exit ();
allegro_exit ();
return 0;
}
END_OF_MAIN ();
|
Linker params:
The order of the params matter. AlFont MUST be before Allegro.
