i've been working on this today, so here is my 5 cents :

you'll need the SDL_ttf library

after that, its a matter of these lines :

	TTF_Font *font = TTF_OpenFont(fontname, fontsize);
	my_text_surface = TTF_RenderText_Solid(font, "testing", m_fore_color);

here, fontname is a char * pointer to your fontname which is best  
locally stored with your application (so make sure you use royalty  
free fonts !!)
