# al\_load\_ttf\_font\_f(3alleg5)

Allegro 5 API

## NAME

al\_load\_ttf\_font\_f - Allegro 5 API

## SYNOPSIS

-

  ```
  #include <allegro5/allegro_ttf.h>
  ALLEGRO_FONT *al_load_ttf_font_f(ALLEGRO_FILE *file,
      char const *filename, int size, int flags)
  ```

## DESCRIPTION

Like al\_load\_ttf\_font(3alleg5), but the font is read from the file handle. The filename is only used to find possible additional files next to a font file.

*Note:* The file handle is owned by the returned ALLEGRO\_FONT object and must not be freed by the caller, as FreeType expects to be able to read from it at a later time.
