                   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.
