I don't see any difference between the given input and desired output.

To keep the forums high quality for all users, please take the time to format your posts correctly.

First of all, use Code Tags when you post any code or data samples so others can easily read your code. You can easily do this by highlighting your code and then clicking on the # in the editing menu. (You can also type code tags [code] and [/code] by hand.)

Second, avoid adding color or different fonts and font size to your posts. Selective use of color to highlight a single word or phrase can be useful at times, but using color, in general, makes the forums harder to read, especially bright colors like red.

Third, be careful when you cut-and-paste, edit any odd characters and make sure all links are working property.

Thank You.

textout_ex

textout_ex(3alleg4)						  Allegro manual					       textout_ex(3alleg4)

NAME

       textout_ex - Writes a string on a bitmap. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       void textout_ex(BITMAP *bmp, const FONT *f, const char *s, int x, int y, int color, int bg);

DESCRIPTION

       Writes  the string `s' onto the bitmap at position x, y, using the specified font, foreground color and background color. If the background
       color is -1, then the text is written transparently. If the foreground color is -1 and a color font is in use, it will be drawn	using  the
       colors  from  the original font bitmap (the one you imported into the grabber program), which allows multicolored text output. For high and
       true color fonts, the foreground color is ignored and always treated as -1. Example:

	  /* Show the program's version in blue letters. */
	  textout_ex(screen, font, "v4.2.0-beta2", 10, 10,
		     makecol(0, 0, 255), -1);
