Corrupt text rendering

[Zac610]

I have installed a new version of my favorite linux distro; now my working simple2d project does not work anymore, as text is not rendered correctly. Here is a simple code:

#include <simple2d.h>

S2D_Text *txt;

void render() {
  S2D_DrawTriangle(
    320,  50, 1, 0, 0, 1,
    540, 430, 0, 1, 0, 1,
    100, 430, 0, 0, 1, 1
  );
	S2D_DrawText(txt);
}

int main() {

  S2D_Window *window = S2D_CreateWindow(
    "Hello Triangle", 640, 480, NULL, render, 0
  );
	
	txt = S2D_CreateText("Menu.ttf", "A", 20);

	txt->x = 100;
	txt->y = 100;
	
  S2D_Show(window);
  return 0;
}

The result is as follows:

The distro is Linux Mint 21.2

How can I find where is the problem?

I can corroborate this on Arch. This is what the testcard looks like:

I am on SDL version 2.28.5, which looks like it released on November 2nd. What version are you on, @Zac610 ? Does downgrading change things?

My version is quite old:
libsdl2 v. 2.0.20
libsdl2-ttf 2.0.18
before updating to Mint 21 I was on Mint 20, and it worked flawlessly. I don't know which version had there.
