+ The FREE TrueType Font Engine
+
+
+ Copyright (C) 1996-2001 The FreeType Development Team
+
+
+
+ The FreeType engine is a free and portable TrueType font rendering
+ engine, available in ANSI C and Pascal source code. It has been
+ developed to provide TrueType support to a great variety of
+ platforms and environments.
+
+ Notice that FreeType is a *library*. It is *not* a font server
+ for your preferred environment, even though it has been designed
+ to be the basis of many high-level libraries, tools and font
+ servers.

+ UK, USA, AND POSSIBLY OTHER COUNTRIES. FOR MORE INFORMATION, WE

+ It's a clean-room implementation that is not derived from the
+ original TrueType engine developed by Apple and Microsoft, though
+ it matches it regarding rendering quality. To our knowledge, it's
+ the only royalty-free complete TrueType engine available.
+
+ Some news:
+
+ . version 1.5 fixes minor bugs found in 1.3.1.
+ . version 1.4 were never released officially (by us).
+ . full support for GSUB and GPOS tables in OpenType fonts.
+ . enhanced ftdump/ftstrtto test programs using GPOS support.
+ . ftstrpnm supports coloured text.
+ . TT_Char_Index() now uses a TT_ULong for char codes.
+ . support files for BeOS.
+ . the Pascal version is no longer part of the package but is
+ available separately.
+ . uses a new version of libtool, solving some compilation problems
+ with the test programs on some platforms like Solaris.
