# TTF_RenderText_Solid

Render Latin1 text at fast quality to a new 8-bit surface.

## Header File

Defined in SDL_ttf.h

## Syntax

```c
SDL_Surface * TTF_RenderText_Solid(TTF_Font *font,
                const char *text, SDL_Color fg);

```

## Function Parameters

|              |                                     |
| ------------ | ----------------------------------- |
| **font**     | the font to render with.            |
| **text**     | text to render, in Latin1 encoding. |
| **fg**       | the foreground color for the text.  |

## Return Value

Returns a new 8-bit, palettized surface, or NULL if there was an error.

## Remarks

This function will allocate a new 8-bit, palettized surface. The surface's
0 pixel will be the colorkey, giving a transparent background. The 1 pixel
will be set to the text color.

This will not word-wrap the string; you'll get a surface with a single line
of text, as long as the string requires. You can use
[TTF_RenderText_Solid_Wrapped](TTF_RenderText_Solid_Wrapped)() instead if
you need to wrap the output to multiple lines.

This will not wrap on newline characters.

You almost certainly want [TTF_RenderUTF8_Solid](TTF_RenderUTF8_Solid)()
unless you're sure you have a 1-byte Latin1 encoding. US ASCII characters
will work with either function, but most other Unicode characters packed
into a `const char *` will need UTF-8.

You can render at other quality levels with
[TTF_RenderText_Shaded](TTF_RenderText_Shaded),
[TTF_RenderText_Blended](TTF_RenderText_Blended), and
[TTF_RenderText_LCD](TTF_RenderText_LCD).

## Version

This function is available since SDL_ttf 3.0.0.
