SDL_ttf 3.0

This is the SDL3 wiki. SDL2 is over here!

What is it?

This library is a wrapper around the FreeType and Harfbuzz libraries, allowing you to use TrueType fonts to render text in SDL applications.

This library is distributed under the zlib license. This license allows you to use it freely in any software.

This library also uses the following libraries:

• FreeType, licensed under the FTL
• HarfBuzz, licensed under the MIT license
• PlutoSVG, licensed under the MIT license
• PlutoVG, licensed under the MIT license

Please follow the licenses of any fonts you include in your application, as many of them are copyrighted. The Microsoft fonts, for example, are not freely redistributable.
