EDIT: IGNORE ME I'M A RTFM MAN! 
, sorted it now, ttf you SILLY EGG!
Hello
I've just setup A5 and Code::Blocks and all was going well until I tried to load a font. My program always returns (-1) when I check if the font exists!
I'm using Windows 7 and have tried the full path too (C:/Fonts/Arial.ttf). Below is an example, any suggestions would be helpful as I'm a little stuck, probably something painfully obvious that I can't see!

2#include "allegro_font.h"
