al_load_ttf_font(3)	    Library Functions Manual	     al_load_ttf_font(3)

NAME
     al_load_ttf_font - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS
	    #include <allegro5/allegro_ttf.h>

	    ALLEGRO_FONT *al_load_ttf_font(char const *filename, int size, int flags)

DESCRIPTION
     Loads a TrueType font from a file using the FreeType library.  Quoting from
     the FreeType FAQ this means support for many different font formats:

     TrueType, OpenType, Type1, CID, CFF, Windows FON/FNT, X11 PCF, and others

     The size parameter determines the size the font will be rendered at, speci-
     fied in pixels.  The standard font size is measured in units per EM, if you
     instead  want  to specify the size as the total height of glyphs in pixels,
     pass it as a negative value.

	    Note: If you want to display text at multiple sizes, load  the  font
	    multiple times with different size parameters.

     The following flags are supported:

     * ALLEGRO_TTF_NO_KERNING  -  Do  not  use any kerning even if the font file
       supports it.

     * ALLEGRO_TTF_MONOCHROME - Load  as  a  monochrome  font  (which  means  no
       anti-aliasing of the font is done).

     * ALLEGRO_TTF_NO_AUTOHINT - Disable the Auto Hinter which is enabled by de-
       fault in newer versions of FreeType.  Since: 5.0.6, 5.1.2
