You could do it the cl-sdl way, by writing a tiny C wrapper. It's a bit  
annoying to have C stubs in otherwise 'clean' library, but I guess that is  
currently the only way to do it.

 From cl-sdl sdlttfstub.c:

#include <SDL.h>
#include <SDL_ttf.h>

SDL_Surface *render_glyph_solid (TTF_Font *font, Uint16 ch, SDL_Color *fg)  
{
   return TTF_RenderGlyph_Solid (font, ch, *fg);
}

SDL_Surface *render_Text_solid (TTF_Font *font, const char *text,
                                 SDL_Color *fg) {
   return TTF_RenderText_Solid (font, text, *fg);
}

SDL_Surface *render_UTF8_solid (TTF_Font *font, const char *text,
                                 SDL_Color *fg) {
   return TTF_RenderUTF8_Solid (font, text, *fg);
}
