There arn’t any issues with including text rendered with the library with a
game, are there? I used SDLttf for a short while and then wrote one that
did caching of the glyphs. This sped things up considerably. I can easily
change it to save the glyphs to a file and then load in the glyph set
instead of a ttf file, but I am not sure how far this might go. I don’t
think there are any legal problems with using the final rendered product,
but how far back can I go? Should I save rendered text, or only outlines?
Outlines are better for me because I use scaled text a bit.
Comments?

By the way, I sent an application to become a Xfree86 devloper a bit back,
and they havn’t yet responded. I have a bit of a feeling they arn’t going
to. If DRI-2 isn’t what we need then I think we will be stuck. I doubt
that any graphics extension we create for Xfree86 without their blessing
will be distributed enough to be useful.

gdb give me this :
(gdb) set args sample.wav
(gdb) run
The program being debugged has been started already.

Linux thread target has restored Unknown signal handling
Starting program: /home/special/projet/SDL-1.1/test/./loopwave sample.wav
Linux thread target has modified Unknown signal handling

It's me again, the guy who can't compile anything out of the box ;-)
At least in the RPM i have installed here (freetype-1.3-4.rpm from
Mandrake), the include files for freetype got installed into
/usr/include/freetype.

freetype, at least of version 1.3, installs its include files into
/usr/include/freetype. I’ve included a diff against SDL_ttf-1.0.0.
