Ok,

I am trying to load a color font (attached) using Allegro's load_font() function. It loads correctly, but I can't change the colors of the text. Is there a way to do this using 32-bit colored fonts? I am asking, because I want to have a colored outline on the font, but be able to change the inside color of the font.

Thanks everyone,
Donald

No. Color fonts have their own colors. That's what separates them from monochrome fonts.

Use two fonts: one for the outline and one for the inside.

No, but you can use an 8 bit colour font and change the palette.

Again, this is easy if your font is 8 bit and you manipulate the palette.

I don't understand you at all....
to change the color do as I say :

      /* Important texts go in the middle. */
      width = text_length("GAME OVER");
      textout_centre_ex(screen, font, "GAME OVER",
                        SCREEN_W / 2, SCREEN_H / 2,
                        makecol32(255, 0, 0), makecol(0, 0, 0));

I use 32 bit color in my game and I can change the color of a single letter at maximum. In my game for example there is a 'Matrix' style text flow...
Are you trying to put more colors upon a single letter ?
Make a Bitmap an create an handling class... yeah, if this is the problem.

Why? Allegro can deal with coloured fonts just fine.
