[AD] A5 FontAddon plans for embedded font?

[Dennis-Busch@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hi,

Are there any plans on embedding a default font (like in Allegro 4)?

Is someone perhaps already working on it? Or are there any plans on 
porting parts of the old font routines(non TrueType stuff)?

Would you have any objections to include within the library a 
function that creates a default bitmap font from a small hard-coded 
byte-array (to be included within the lib) if someone (say me for 
example) wrote such function?
(*)

e.g. something like "al_create_builtin_8x8_bitmap_font()"

I would greatly appreciate such default built-in font for purposes 
like displaying debugging information on screen without having to 
create and then load an external font file first.

(*) I thought of taking and porting the byte arrays found in Allegro4 
"font.c" and writing a function which would create a bitmap from that 
in the format expected by "al_grab_font_from_bitmap" and then call 
that and return the result (after destroying the temporary bitmap).

Kind regards,
Dennis
