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.]
27
28Additional documentation is  available as a separate  package from our
29sites.  Go to
