(This function is part of SDL_ttf, a separate library from SDL.)

TTF_SetFontKerning

Set if kerning is enabled for a font.

Header File

Syntax

void TTF_SetFontKerning(TTF_Font *font, bool enabled);

Function Parameters

TTF_Font *	font	the font to set kerning on.
bool	enabled	true to enable kerning, false to disable.

Remarks

Newly-opened fonts default to allowing kerning. This is generally a good policy unless you have a strong reason to disable it, as it tends to produce better rendering (with kerning disabled, some fonts might render the word kerning as something that looks like keming for example).

This updates any TTF_Text objects using this font.

Thread Safety

This function should be called on the thread that created the font.

Version

This function is available since SDL_ttf 3.0.0.
