[SDL] SDL_Pango

[Guillaume Cottenceau]

Hi Bill,

I've seen already some posts by you on google when searching info on
SDL_Pango :)

I've replaced SDL_ttf by SDL_Pango in my software in very minimal
time. Of course it will depend on how your software is programmed etc.
Well, there is additional time to properly handle real RTL display if
you have to do it for sprites etc but this is another story.

Good luck anyway :)
