I know nothing about GRX23 (what advantages does it have over Allegro
again?) but I know how to do it in Allegro:

#include <allegro.h>

int main()
{
  DATAFILE *dat;
  FONT *myfont;

  allegro_init();
  install_timer();

  if(set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT, 320, 200, 0, 0) < 0)
    return 1;
  install_keyboard();

  dat = load_datafile("myfont.dat");
  if(dat == 0)
    return 1;
  myfont = find_datafile_object(dat, "comicsans");

  clear(screen);
  rect(screen, 0, 0, 100, 100, 7);
  circle(screen, 100, 100, 50, 4);
  text_mode(-1);
  textout(screen, myfont, "hello world", 32, 160, 15);

  readkey();

  unload_datafile(dat);
  return 0;
} END_OF_MAIN();
