TTF_Font * TTF_OpenFont(const char *file, float ptsize);

Some .fon fonts will have several sizes embedded in the file, so the point size becomes the index of choosing which size. If the value is too high, the last indexed size will be the default.

When done with the returned TTF_Font , use

TTF_CloseFont () to dispose of it.

file

path to font file.

ptsize

point size to use for the newly-opened font.

( TTF_Font
*) Returns a valid TTF_Font , or NULL on failure; call SDL_GetError() for more information.
