TTF#render_to (render text onto existing surface)
Reported by John Croisant | June 18th, 2008 @ 01:40 AM
Venut has suggested a way to render TTF text onto an existing Surface, so that a new Surface doesn't have to be created every time the text changes. (This is good for e.g. FPS displays, which change many times per second.)
We could add TTF#render_to, which would be like TTF#render, but take a Surface and Rect as well. SDL_TTF always creates a new Surface when rendering text, but we could blit and free it immediately, without creating a new ruby object for it.
UTF8 and Unicode variants would be added as well, of course.
