I've installed djgpp, rhide and allegro successfully to my DOS system and
have compiled the examples and some of my (simple) graphics code
succesfully. I am, however, a little lost concerning fonts. I have got the
fonts that come with allegro and an extra block which the allegro web pages
point to, and I'm quite happy using simple fonts, however, I need some large
fonts (of the order of 100 pixels high). What avenues should I pursue, FAQs
should I read please? I've looked at allegttf, which looks like it may be a
solution, but the documentation with it left me unsure as to whether this
type of scalability was possible.

Sorry if this is obvious to you all,

Many thanks,

Neil
