Sorry for that. I never used Freetype directly.
Have you looked at the Freetype site for such a function ?

A way would be to check the width and height of each
character you use for each font, size, ... and then save
this information in an array or another data structure.

You can then use SDL_ttf to generate the complete string and
use your information to calculate the necessary position.

For example width & height for "a", width & height for "b"
and then check if width for "a" + width for "b" = width for "ab"
