279 | </pre> |
280 | <p>Set the rendering style of the loaded font.</p> |
281 | <p><strong>Note</strong>: <code>TTF_STYLE_UNDERLINE</code> may cause surfaces created by <code>SDL::TTF::render_glyph_*</code> functions to be extended vertically, downward only, |
282 | to encompass the underline if the original glyph metrics didn't allow for the underline to be drawn below. This does not change the math used |
283 | to place a glyph using glyph metrics. |
284 | On the other hand <code>TTF_STYLE_STRIKETHROUGH</code> doesn't extend the glyph, since this would invalidate the metrics used to position the glyph when |
285 | blitting, because they would likely be extended vertically upward. There is perhaps a workaround, but it would require programs to be smarter |
286 | about glyph blitting math than they are currently designed for. |
287 | Still, sometimes the underline or strikethrough may be outside of the generated surface, and thus not visible when blitted to the screen. In |
288 | this case, you should probably turn off these styles and draw your own strikethroughs and underlines. </p> |
