NAME

       al_create_builtin_font - Allegro 5 API

SYNOPSIS

              #include <allegro5/allegro_font.h>

              ALLEGRO_FONT *al_create_builtin_font(void)

DESCRIPTION

       Creates a monochrome bitmap font (8x8 pixels per character).

       This  font  is primarily intended to be used for displaying information in environments or
       during early runtime states where no external font data is available or loaded (e.g.   for
       debugging).

       The builtin font contains the following unicode character ranges:

              0x0020 to 0x007F (ASCII)
              0x00A1 to 0x00FF (Latin 1)
              0x0100 to 0x017F (Extended A)
              0x20AC to 0x20AC (euro currency symbol)

       Returns NULL on an error.

       The   font   memory   must   be   freed  the  same  way  as  for  any  other  font,  using
       al_destroy_font(3alleg5).
