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

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Loads a font from disk.
This will use al_load_bitmap_font_flags(3alleg5) if you pass the name of
a known bitmap format, or else al_load_ttf_font(3alleg5).
.PP
The flags parameter is passed through to either of those functions.
Bitmap and TTF fonts are also affected by the current [bitmap
flags]al_set_new_bitmap_flags(3alleg5) at the time the font is loaded.
