                   The FREE TrueType Font Engine


       Copyright (C) 1996-1998 The FreeType Development Team



  The FreeType engine is a free and portable TrueType font rendering
  engine, available in  ANSI C and Pascal source  code.  It has been
  developed to  provide TT support  to a great variety  of platforms
  and environments.
  
  Notice that  FreeType is a *library*.   It is *not*  a font server
  for your  preferred environment, even though it  has been designed
  to  be the  basis of  many  high-level libraries,  tools and  font
  servers.

  It's  a clean-room  implementation that  is not  derived  from the
  original  TT engine developed  by Apple  and Microsoft,  though it
  matches it  regarding rendering  quality.  To our  knowledge, it's
  the only royalty-free complete TrueType engine available.
