extract_font_range(3)           Allegro manual           extract_font_range(3)



NAME
       extract_font_range - Extracts a range of characters from a font.
       Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <allegro.h>


       FONT *extract_font_range(FONT *f, int begin, int end)

DESCRIPTION
       This function extracts a character range from a font and returns a new
       font that contains only the range of characters selected by this
       function. You can pass -1 for either the lower or upper bound if you
       want to select all characters from the start or to the end of the font.
       Example:

          FONT *myfont;
          FONT *capitals;
          FONT *fontcopy;
          ...
          /* Create a font of only capital letters */
          capitals = extract_font_range(myfont, 'A', 'Z');

          /* Create a copy of the font */
          fontcopy = extract_font_range(myfont, -1, -1);
          ...
          destroy_font(capitals);
          destroy_font(fontcopy);

RETURN VALUE
       Returns a pointer to the new font or NULL on error. Remember that you
       are responsible for destroying the font when you are finished with it
       to avoid memory leaks.
