Hi there,

I have just started using DJGPP & Allegro, and have run into a problem using
different fonts. Here is a snippet of my code, which returns an error message
somethinmg like 'Incompatible pointer type'

#include <stdio.h>
#include <allegro.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    FONT *myfont="c:/djgpp/fonts/ncen22.fnt";

    allegro_init();
    install_timer();
    install_mouse();
    install_keyboard();
    set_color_depth(16);
    set_gfx_mode(GFX_VESA2L, 800,600,800,600);
    textout(screen, myfont, "testing testing 123", 0,0, 15);
    show_mouse(screen);
    while(!keypressed());
}

Any tips?

Thanks,

Toby
