| =============== |
| |
| Homepage: https://www.freetype.org |
| |
| FreeType is a freely available software library to render fonts. |
| |
| It is written in C, designed to be small, efficient, highly |
| customizable, and portable while capable of producing high-quality |
| output (glyph images) of most vector and bitmap font formats. |
| |
| Please read the `docs/CHANGES` file, it contains IMPORTANT |
| INFORMATION. |
| |
| Read the files `docs/INSTALL*` for installation instructions; see the |
| file `docs/LICENSE.TXT` for the available licenses. |
| |
| For using FreeType's git repository instead of a distribution bundle, |
| please read file `README.git`. |
| |
| The FreeType 2 API reference is located in directory `docs/reference`; |
| use the file `index.html` as the top entry point. [Please note that |
| currently the search function for locally installed documentation |
| doesn't work due to cross-site scripting issues.] |
| |
| Additional documentation is available as a separate package from our |
| sites. Go to |
| |
| https://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/ |
| |
| and download one of the following files. |
