Hi. A short time ago, I announced an Allegro add-on for displaying TrueType fonts that has results as close to Windows as anyone has achieved to date. Sorry for being a bit optomistic about the release date. Let me just say the first release will be ready soon. It will be a mere skeleton of what's to come, but it will have the basics, including unicode. The reason I didn't want to release what I have got so early is because the next one would be dramatically different and probably lack a reasonable amount of backward compatibility. I have changed my mind on one thing: I was originally going to release a C version as well as C++, but I have decided just to release the C++ version. Am I discriminating against C programmers? No way. No object oriented knowledge is required. Like many things in C++, this library add-on is just another way of using C++ as a better C. And I will include a document especially for C programmers. NOTE: I am primarily a C programmer myself, so I know what I'm doing! - Steven Taylor.
