extract_font_range(3alleg4)					  Allegro manual				       extract_font_range(3alleg4)

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.

NAME

       exunicod - Using Unicode string functions. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       Example exunicod

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  demonstrates  the  use of the 16-bit Unicode text encoding format with Allegro. The example displays a message translated to
       different languages scrolling on the screen using an external font containing the required characters to display those messages.

       Note how the Allegro unicode string functions resemble the functions you can find in the standard C library, only these handle  Unicode	on
       all platforms.
