NAME
       grab_font_from_bitmap - Grabs a font from a bitmap Allegro game programming library.


SYNOPSIS
       #include <allegro.h>

       FONT *grab_font_from_bitmap(BITMAP *bmp)


DESCRIPTION
       This  function  is  the  work-horse  of load_bitmap_font, and can be used to grab a font from a bitmap in
       memory. You can use this if you want to generate or modify a font at runtime. The  bitmap  should  follow
       the layout described for load_bitmap_font.


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