random question program

i would like to do some kind of an application that can give me random questions and answer tests on a given subject, i have my data and it will be a straightforward application, except i want to use SDL for output, just to make some nice buttons and display etc.

Problem is that given a large amount of Q&A its not practical to do this by loading an image file for each question, or even part of an image file, although that is a possible solution methinks.

GL can draw text, so perhaps you can use those functions. EDIT: And there is SDL_ttf too.
