- 1. Unix Systems (including Mac OS X, Cygwin, and MSys on Windows)
+ FreeType is a low level C library that only depends on the standard
+ C library with very few platform-dependent optimizations utilized at
+ build time. System libraries, such as zlib, Gzip, bzip2, Brotli,
+ and libpng, might be used to handle compressed fonts or decode
+ embedded PNG glyphs.
+
+ FreeType auto-configuration scripts should be able to detect the
+ prerequisites if the necessary headers are available at the default
+ locations. Otherwise, modify `include/freetype/config/ftoption.h'
+ to control how the FreeType library gets built. Normally, you don't
+ need to change anything.

+ Applications have very limited control over FreeType's behaviour at
+ run-time; look at the documentation of function `FT_Property_Set'.
