maybe it is better to avoid SDL_ttf completly in this case. i dunno if
SDL_ttf does kerning at all but if it does things might be get
complicated as "ab" might have a different width than "ba". freetype on
the other hand naturally provides you with this information and it
isn't that hard to use either. as i learnt reacently it even can render
the glyphs outlines, a feature often asked for, but seldom implemented.
