get_font_range_end

get_font_range_end(3alleg4)					  Allegro manual				       get_font_range_end(3alleg4)

NAME

       get_font_range_end - Returns the last character of a character range in a font. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int get_font_range_end(FONT *f, int range)

DESCRIPTION

       This function allows you to find out the index to the last character of a character range for a font. You can pass -1 for the range parame-
       ter if you want to know the start of the whole font range, or a number from 0 to (but not including) get_font_ranges(f) to get the start of
       a  specific  character  range in the font. You should check the start and end of all font ranges to see if a specific character is actually
       available in the font. Not all characters in the range returned by get_font_range_begin(f, -1) and get_font_range_end(f,  -1)  need  to	be
       available! Example:

	  printf("The font has a character range of %d - %d
",
		 get_font_range_begin(font, -1),
		 get_font_range_end(font, -1));

RETURN VALUE

       Returns the last character in the font range, or -1 if that information is not available.

SEE ALSO
