How would I get, at run time, the version number of the FreeType

(https://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2-version.html)
function needs the 'source library handle' but AFAIK that's not
exposed by SDL_TTF. Or is it?

You might try calling FT_Init_FreeType to get your own FT_Library
instance, use it to call, then call FT_Library_Version followed by
FT_Done_FreeType.

D'oh, I really should have thought of that! It works perfectly. Thanks.
