Situation: Erik Ellingsson knows how to make, load, and display fonts in
Allegro using Grabber.exe and textout().
Problem: He wants to resize them dynamically.
Solution: If you want to display one font in several sizes, what you want is
a TrueType(R) library. Get one from the Allegro web site
http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro/
If you just want to store several bitmapped sizes of a TrueType font, get
TTF2PCX (also on Allegro's site).
If you want to see how to write a game using the Allegro driver library,
check out the full source code to the popular game DOSArena:
