I have tried using DirectX 8 as a 2D blitter. One of the reasons I gave up
was it warped the graphics. In the gameplay area this was no problem. But on
the interfaces the buttons wouldn’t line up in their intended areas and if
text was painted on them it would come out looking weird. So I went back to
ordinary Direct X. Does this same problem exist using OpenGL as a 2D
blitter?_________________________________________________________________

Nope. Take a look at test/testgl.c in the latest release.

Sounds weird… “Warps” how exactly?

Nope. Kobo Deluxe looks exactly the same with glSDL - apart from the
few hundred percent frame rate improvement.
