SDL TTF - Rendering UTF8/UNICODE very, very slow for some languages #25

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 

SDL_TTF seems to render UTF extremly slowly for some languages.  It seems
to handle French and German OK, although I do notice a little lag compared
to English.

Turkish is pretty slow and Hebrew seems unusable dropping the render rate
from 40fps to 1/2 a fps.

These are the only languages I've tried using TTF_RenderUTF8_Blended().  I
included UNICODE in this issue after looking at the source it appears UTF8
is just a wrapper for UNICODE.

This does not seem like a problem when using SDL_TTF on Windows but it's
hard to compare as I've not bench marked the tests yet.

Not sure if anyone else has time to repro this?
