Description Gregory Smith 2008-09-04 18:05:28 UTC 
This patch allows setting the hinting style of each TTF_Font. The options are none, light, mono(chrome), and normal/default. This is useful because it allows access to FreeType's slight hinter, which IMO looks much better for in-game interfaces.

Thank you very much for your patch!

Do you give me permission to release your code with SDL 1.3 and future versions of SDL under both the LGPL and a closed-source commercial license?

Yes, you may use this patch as you described.
