Still had this mail marked as important so a final reply - loading the
A4 fonts is a matter of:

ALLEGRO_FONT *load_a4_font(char const *filename)
{
    ALLEGRO_BITMAP *bitmap = al_load_bitmap(filename);
    al_convert_mask_to_alpha(bitmap, al_map_rgb(255, 0, 255));
    return al_grab_font_from_bitmap(bitmap);
}

So I don't think we need to add anything else.
