.SH DESCRIPTION
A handle identifying any kind of font.
Usually you will create it with al_load_font(3) which supports loading
all kinds of TrueType fonts supported by the FreeType library.
If you instead pass the filename of a bitmap file, it will be loaded
with al_load_bitmap(3) and a font in Allegro\[cq]s bitmap font format
will be created from it with al_grab_font_from_bitmap(3).
