[SDL] SDL2 + OpenGL+ SDL_ttf and rendering text question

[Chris Bush]

It's neat. I like the prospective alignment feature. One might go in the
direction of creating something like a paragraph class that you can create,
position on the plane, set the typeface and kerning and so on, and fill and
refill with text. I think setting the color in the glyph drawing function
might not be optimal, since for a given input to DrawText you must pass and
set the colors to each letter. Anyway, it looks useful. Thanks for leaving
the credit.
