.SH NAME
gl_setfont \- set the text font to be used

.SH SYNOPSIS
.B #include <vgagl.h>

.BI "void gl_setfont(int " fw ", int " fh ", void *" fp );

.SH DESCRIPTION
Use the font stored as character bitmaps at
.IR fp ,
with characters of size
.RI ( fw ", " fh ),
as the basic font for write
operations. Note that the font included in the library must
be expanded first, because it is stored bit-per-pixel;
this is not required if the
.B FONT_COMPRESSED
.BR gl_setwritemode (3)
flag is set.
