Can someone tell me how to format a font bitmap so that Allegro's grabber
interprets it as a proportional font?  I made a 16x14 grid with color 0 for
the lines and color 255 in the spaces, with ASCII characters 32-126 from my
font in the first 83 spaces.  Then I saved it as a bitmap, read it into the
grabber, and grabbed it as a font object, but it keeps coming out as an 8x8
fixed size font.  What am I doing wrong???  The "grab from grid" option
doesn't work either - it says no grid was found.

Thanks in advance for any help.
