What specific drawing function(s) are you calling?  I use SDL2_gfx extensively, and it certainly 'works' although IMHO it leaves a lot to be desired. For example arcs and sectors take the subtended angle as an integer parameter in degrees!  This means it is impossible to get 'pixel-accurate' results if the radius is more than around 60 pixels, which I consider to be somewhat ridiculous.

In an ideal world I'd like to see something with a functionality comparable with GDI Plus in Windows, that is full support for anti-aliasing and all parameters as floating-point values rather than integers.  But in the absence of that, SDL2_gfx works acceptably well for my purposes.
