FreeType 2.12.1
===============
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-2.12.1.tar.xz
freetype-doc-2.12.1.tar.gz

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