Description Folkert van Heusden 2012-07-02 06:50:41 UTC 
SDL_TTF is currently not thread-safe. That is: SDL_TTF at itself might be thread-safe but the FreeType library underneath is not accessed in a thread-safe way.
Please consider extending SDL_TTF so that each thread can do a SDL_TTF_Init()-like call which returns a thread-specific structure containing the result of FT_Library (http://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Library ).
