.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
A handle identifying any kind of font.
Usually you will create it with al_load_font(3alleg5) which supports
loading all kinds of TrueType fonts supported by the FreeType library.
If you instead pass the filename of a bitmap file, it will be loaded
with al_load_bitmap(3alleg5) and a font in Allegro\[cq]s bitmap font
format will be created from it with al_grab_font_from_bitmap(3alleg5).
