###### (This function is part of SDL_ttf, a separate library from SDL.) # TTF_RenderUTF8_Solid Render UTF-8 text at fast quality to a new 8-bit surface. ## Syntax ```c SDL_Surface * TTF_RenderUTF8_Solid(TTF_Font *font, const char *text, SDL_Color fg); ``` ## Function Parameters | | | | ------------ | ---------------------------------- | | **font** | the font to render with. | | **text** | text to render, in UTF-8 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_RenderUTF8_Solid_Wrapped](TTF_RenderUTF8_Solid_Wrapped)() instead if you need to wrap the output to multiple lines. This will not wrap on newline characters. You can render at other quality levels with [TTF_RenderUTF8_Shaded](TTF_RenderUTF8_Shaded), [TTF_RenderUTF8_Blended](TTF_RenderUTF8_Blended), and [TTF_RenderUTF8_LCD](TTF_RenderUTF8_LCD). ## Version This function is available since SDL_ttf 2.0.12. ## Related Functions * [TTF_RenderUTF8_Shaded](TTF_RenderUTF8_Shaded) * [TTF_RenderUTF8_Blended](TTF_RenderUTF8_Blended) * [TTF_RenderUTF8_LCD](TTF_RenderUTF8_LCD) ---- [CategoryAPI](CategoryAPI)
