My current implementation uses a helper library called SDL-pango, which just handles all Pango stuff and has full control over layouting etc. It can do all extent calculations, and then create a bitmap surface. The library is not maintained however, and doesn't deal with SDL2 textures -- which led me to investigate cairo-pango. -- cairo mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cairographics.org/mailman/listinfo/cairo
