Summary: set_palette don't work corectly when using load_dat_font

Initial Comment:
[Sorry for my english]

In version 4.2.0 Beta 3...

You need to load the font 2 times to get correct palette, 
like this:

void Hardware::SetFont (char *s1, char *s2) {
     FONT *Font;
     PALETTE pal;
     char *names[] = {s1, s2};     
     Font = load_dat_font("fontdata.dat", pal, names);
     set_palette (pal);
     Font = load_dat_font("fontdata.dat", pal, names);
     font = Font;
}

I think that Allegro need to activate previously the font 
palette, and after load the font, but, you need load the 
font to get font's palette.

If you only load 1 time the font, set_palette will not 
affect to current font, but to the next.

Note: I use WinXP SP2 and AMD64 processor
