You can also download allegttf.  It's a library that allows you to load
True-Type Fonts directly into your allegro program.  In addition, it also
performs antialiasing.  It requires Allegro 3.0 or greater.  It's very
simple to use, requiring you to just init it, and then all the standard
allegro text routines call it via the hook mechanism.
