6FreeType is a freely available software library to render fonts.
7
8It is written in C, designed to be small, efficient, highly
9customizable, and portable while capable of producing high-quality
10output (glyph images) of most vector and bitmap font formats.
11
12Please read the `docs/CHANGES` file, it contains IMPORTANT
13INFORMATION.
14
15Read the files `docs/INSTALL*` for installation instructions; see the
16file `docs/LICENSE.TXT` for the available licenses.
17
18For using FreeType's git repository instead of a distribution bundle,
19please read file `README.git`. Note that you have to actually clone
20the repository; using a snapshot will not work (in other words, don't
21use gitlab's 'Download' button).
22
23The FreeType 2 API reference is located in directory `docs/reference`;
24use the file `index.html` as the top entry point. [Please note that
25currently the search function for locally installed documentation
26doesn't work due to cross-site scripting issues.]

29sites. Go to
