.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Load a bitmap font from a file.
This is done by first calling al_load_bitmap_flags(3alleg5) and then
al_grab_font_from_bitmap(3alleg5).
.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(3alleg5) on it before passing it to
al_grab_font_from_bitmap(3alleg5).
