merge_fonts

merge_fonts(3alleg4)						  Allegro manual					      merge_fonts(3alleg4)

NAME

       merge_fonts - Merges two fonts into one font. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       FONT *merge_fonts(FONT *f1, FONT *f2)

DESCRIPTION

       This function merges the character ranges from two fonts and returns a new font containing all characters in the old fonts. In general, you
       cannot merge fonts of different types (eg, TrueType fonts and bitmapped fonts), but as a special case, this function can  promote  a  mono-
       chrome bitmapped font to a color font and merge those. Example:

	  FONT *myfont;
	  FONT *myfancy_font;
	  FONT *lower_range;
	  FONT *upper_range;
	  FONT *capitals;
	  FONT *combined_font;
	  FONT *tempfont;
	  ...
	  /* Create a font that contains the capitals from  */
	  /* the fancy font but other characters from myfont */
	  lower_range = extract_font_range(myfont, -1, 'A'-1);
	  upper_range = extract_font_range(myfont, 'Z'+1, -1);
	  capitals = extract_font_range(myfancy_font, 'A', 'Z');

	  tempfont = merge_fonts(lower_range, capitals);
	  combined_font = merge_fonts(tempfont, upper_range);

	  /* Clean up temporary fonts */
	  destroy_font(lower_range);
	  destroy_font(upper_range);
	  destroy_font(capitals);
	  destroy_font(tempfont);

RETURN VALUE

       Returns a pointer to the new font or NULL on error. Remember that you are responsible for destroying the font when you are finished with it
       to avoid memory leaks.
