- This library is a wrapper around the excellent FreeType 2.0 library,
- available at:
- http://www.freetype.org/
-
- This library allows you to use TrueType fonts to render text in SDL
- applications.
-
- To make the library, first install the FreeType library, then type
- './configure' then 'make' to build the SDL truetype library and the
- showfont and glfont example applications.
-
- Be careful when including fonts with your application, as many of them
- are copyrighted. The Microsoft fonts, for example, are not freely
- redistributable and even the free "web" fonts they provide are only
- redistributable in their special executable installer form (May 1998).
- There are plenty of freeware and shareware fonts available on the Internet
- though, and may suit your purposes.
-
- This library is available under the GNU Library General Public License,
- see the file "COPYING" for details.
-
- Enjoy!
