Please Help I Can't Install Unix On My Machine
Hi everybody; How are you?
I have a machine with these components
motherboard Gigabyet
processor Intel
RAM Kingstone 1GB
HDD Westerndigital 160GB
DVD ASUS
I use this machine for labs, I was running WinXP
I am now taking one of Sun's exams, I formated the HDD and get Solaris 10 OS, burned it on a DVD and actually I tried the DVD on my laptop and on VMware, it worked so well, but I couldn't in any way to install the system on my PC. I tried many things with my hard disk but nothing worked for me.
1- Is it something from the hard?
2- Is it something with the BIOS?
3- Is it file system I should format the hard with?
I forget to say that when i direct the system to boot from the CDROM, there is a message appear to me "Missing Operating System", but I am very sure that my DVD is bootable.
I am looking forward for your help.
Thanks in advance.

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.
