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

Allegro 5 API

## NAME

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

## SYNOPSIS

-

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

## DESCRIPTION

Like [al\_load\_ttf\_font\_stretch(3)](/al_load_ttf_font_stretch/3.md), 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.

## SINCE

5\.0.6, 5.1.0
