TTF load fails after many loads
Reported by Kiba | July 23rd, 2008 @ 12:50 PM
TTF crash when you load a font too many time.
An example is included in the file. You will need to modify the font's pathname to get it working.

It successfully loads 1424 times on my machine, then raises an error:
./ttf_load_crash.rb:9:in `new': could not load font: Couldn't open /home/jacius /rubygame/samples/FreeSans.ttf (Rubygame::SDLError)Is this similar to what happens to you, kiba?

Okay. Then, this issue is not a bug in Rubygame, but rather an issue with SDL_ttf. Apparently, it is due to the system limit of the number of open files allowed.
My recommendation is not to load the font so many times.
If it really bothers you a lot, you should report it to SDL_ttf. They might (if you are very lucky) decide that it's worth investigating.
