You never need to #include any font, in fact, it should generate an error and 
abort the parsing as a TTF file is not a valid SDL file. If using the windows 
version, you can use any installed font, as the windows font folder is deffined 
as one of the standard input folders. It also works if the font file is in the 
same folder as your source file or in the include folder.
