Freetype

A high quality font rendering engine that can integrate with SDL via SDL_ttf. It can use a wide range of font formats. It can also use hinting to give very acurate glyphs.

Buildroot

Buildroot already supports freetype as a standard package.

Transparency

This section of the SDL_ttf documentation shows the different options for transparency.
