FreeType 2.13.2
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
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`. Note that you have to actually clone
|
|
the repository; using a snapshot will not work (in other words, don't
|
|
use gitlab's 'Download' button).
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
freetype-doc-2.13.2.tar.xz
|
|
freetype-doc-2.13.2.tar.gz
|
|

|
|
engine internals, porting, etc.: freetype-devel@nongnu.org
|
|
announcements: freetype-announce@nongnu.org

|
|

|
|
|
Alternatively, you might report bugs by e-mail to
|
|
`freetype-devel@nongnu.org`. Don't forget to send a detailed
|
