NAME
       al_draw_glyph - Allegro 5 API


SYNOPSIS
              #include <allegro5/allegro_font.h>

              void al_draw_glyph(const ALLEGRO_FONT *f, ALLEGRO_COLOR color, float x, float y,
                 int codepoint)


DESCRIPTION
       Draws  the  glyph  that corresponds with codepoint in the given color using the given font.  If font does
       not have such a glyph, nothing will be drawn.

       To draw a string as left to right horizontal text you will need to use  al_get_glyph_advance(3alleg5)  to
       determine  the position of each glyph.  For drawing strings in other directions, such as top to down, use
       al_get_glyph_dimensions(3alleg5) to determine the size and position of each glyph.

       If you have to draw many glyphs at the same time, use al_hold_bitmap_drawing(3alleg5) with  true  as  the
       parameter, before drawing the glyphs, and then call al_hold_bitmap_drawing(3alleg5) again with false as a
       parameter when done drawing the glyphs to further enhance performance.
