Before you can use a font, you Must open it.
Since the font you want is on disk, you must load it before the
graphics.library (called by intuition) can see it.

Please note that the OpenFont call cann return a font of a different
height than you specify, if that size was not available.

/* Now you can use your new font pointed to by "font" */
