ALLEGRO_FONT *al_load_bitmap_font(const char *fname)

.SH DESCRIPTION
Load a bitmap font from a file.
This is done by first calling al_load_bitmap_flags(3) and then
al_grab_font_from_bitmap(3).
.PP
If you wanted to load an old A4 font, for example, it would be better to
load the bitmap yourself in order to call al_convert_mask_to_alpha(3) on
it before passing it to al_grab_font_from_bitmap(3).
