Font format
DSB can only use fonts that are created in the Allegro bitmap font format[1]. You CAN'T use TrueType fonts or other standard font formats in DSB.
Fonts can be created by hand in your graphics package of choice, or you can use a tool like FontEd[2] which allows you to generate the correct format from a TrueType font.
An Allegro bitmap font is usually arranged on a 16 x 8 grid, which represents the standard ASCII symbols numbered 0-127[3]. Each position of the grid should therefore contain the correct ASCII symbol for that position.
