Calculate the resulting surface size of the LATIN1 encoded text rendered using $font. No actual rendering is done, however correct kerning

 my ($width, $height) = @{ SDL::TTF::size_utf8($font, 'Hallo World!') };
+
 my ($width, $height) = @{ SDL::TTF::size_utf8($font, $text) };

+
Calculate the resulting surface size of the UTF8 encoded text rendered using $font. No actual rendering is done, however correct kerning is 
+done to get the actual width. The height returned in h is the same as you can get using SDL::TTF::font_height.

+
Note that the first example uses the same text as in the LATIN1 example, that is because plain ASCII is UTF8 compatible.

+
Examples:

+
 ($width, $height) = @{ SDL::TTF::size_utf8($font, 'Hallo World!') }; # plain text, if your script is in utf8 or ansi-format
+
+ # or
+
+ ($width, $height) = @{ SDL::TTF::size_utf8($font, "\xE4\xBB\x8A\xE6\x97\xA5\xE3\x81\xAF") }; # utf8 hex-data
+
+ # or
+
+ use Unicode::String;
+ my $unicode       = utf8($data_from_somwhere);
+ ($width, $height) = @{ SDL::TTF::size_utf8($font, $unicode->utf8) }; # utf8 via Unicode::String

Calculate the resulting surface size of the UNICODE encoded text rendered using $font. No actual rendering is done, however correct kerning +is done to get the actual width. The height returned in h is the same as you can get using SDL::TTF::font_height.

+

$text has to be:

+
+
UTF16BE without BOM
+
+

"hallo" will look like "\0h\0a\0l\0l\0o"

+
+
UTF16BE with BOM
+
+

"hallo" will look like "\xFE\xFF\0h\0a\0l\0l\0o"

+
+
UTF16LE with BOM
+
+

"hallo" will look like "\xFF\xFEh\0a\0l\0l\0o\0"

+
+
+

You may use Unicode::String for this.
