: I'm trying to use some RGB colors, but it didn't work
: I try to use R 150 G 113 B 61 (something like magenta) and I got GRAY!
: Do you know why? Do you know what's wrong or what I need to do?

The colour strengths should range from 0 to 63. Shift them right two
places (e.g. 150>>2, 113>>2, 61>>2) and it will probably be what you want.

: I need some .FNT files (at least 50 fonts) and I don't know where I can get
: it. Do you know who can send me it or where can I get it?

There's a link from the Allegro homepage
(http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro/), in the links section, to
ftp://x2ftp.oulu.fi/pub/msdos/programming/djgpp/v1tk/cbgrf103.zip, which
is "A selection of fonts from the LIBGRX distribution, which can be used
with Allegro". Maybe this is on Simtel mirrors in that directory, too; I'm
not sure.
