Here's the initial bug report from Neil Roy :

    1) Replaced verdana bold with a new copy of it from the same 
source, even changed the filename. Same problem.
    2) Tried loading the font from outside the ZIP file, from a normal 
folder and it loaded no problem. The very next font that tried to load 
from the ZIP file failed, a totally different font. Also note that I 
successfully loaded a BMP font from the same ZIP file without problems.
    3) It's not just THIS font, it's ANY TTF. I tried a totally 
different TTF. They load fine from a normal folder, they do not load 
from the ZIP. Yet Allegro 5.2.1 loads them just fine from all locations. 
I ONLY compile with the libraries YOU supplied each time, with the same 
compiler you supplied. The program is compiled with the exact same 
settings each time, both with Allegro 5.2.1 and with the version in this 
forum. Yet I have zero problems with 5.2.1, so something changed between 
versions.
