This is a text rendering system which is designed less for rigorous typographic correctness and rather for speed and flexibility.

Features

When I say flexibility, I mean:

• Multi-line text/Word-wrap
• Mutiple fonts of different sizes in the same text block
• Support for rendering other textures and elements into text blocks
• UTF-8 support in simple cases like German umlaute, might also work for longer Unicode sequences

Control character syntax

All control sequences consist of three characters, of which the first one is always 0x11. The second character specifies the control command (see below table) and the third is an argument to that command (referred to as a).

Character	Description
'n'	Changes the font to fonts[a-1]
'i'	Renders the texture textures[a-1] to the current location
'u'	Saves the current position to controls[a-1].{x,y}, then jumps by controls[a-1].{w,h}
'l'	Evaluates loader(a-1) and renders the result (useful for lazy evaluation of textures)

Dependencies

• SDL2
• SDL2_ttf

To-Do

• Eliminate SDL2_ttf dependency and instead use Freetype directly.
• Improve Unicode support.
• Implement basic syllable division features for German and English.
• Render characters on demand.
