You are building as C++. You need to explicitly cast the return type of
MemHandleLock to a FontType pointer, by saying
fonte=(FontType *)MemHandleLock(DmGetResource('NFNT', 1000));

Again, C++ doesn't allow you to implicitly convert from a integer to a
enumerated type, so you say
FntDefineFont(255, (fontID)fonte);

Nothing, its just language issues. A C source file would have allowed both
of these statements
