FreeType 2.13.3
===============
Homepage: https://www.freetype.org
FreeType is a freely available software library to render fonts.
It is written in C, designed to be small, efficient, highly
customizable, and portable while capable of producing high-quality
output (glyph images) of most vector and bitmap font formats.
Please read the `docs/CHANGES` file, it contains IMPORTANT
INFORMATION.
Read the files `docs/INSTALL*` for installation instructions; see the
file `docs/LICENSE.TXT` for the available licenses.
For using FreeType's git repository instead of a distribution bundle,
please read file `README.git`. Note that you have to actually clone
the repository; using a snapshot will not work (in other words, don't
use gitlab's 'Download' button).
The FreeType 2 API reference is located in directory `docs/reference`;
use the file `index.html` as the top entry point. [Please note that
currently the search function for locally installed documentation
doesn't work due to cross-site scripting issues.]
Additional documentation is available as a separate package from our
sites. Go to
https://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/
and download one of the following files.
freetype-doc-2.13.3.tar.xz
freetype-doc-2.13.3.tar.gz
ftdoc2133.zip
To view the documentation online, go to
https://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/
Mailing Lists
-------------
The preferred way of communication with the FreeType team is using
e-mail lists.
general use and discussion: freetype@nongnu.org
engine internals, porting, etc.: freetype-devel@nongnu.org
announcements: freetype-announce@nongnu.org
git repository tracker: freetype-commit@nongnu.org
The lists are moderated; see
https://www.freetype.org/contact.html
how to subscribe.
Bugs
----
Please submit bug reports at
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/issues
Alternatively, you might report bugs by e-mail to
`freetype-devel@nongnu.org`. Don't forget to send a detailed
explanation of the problem -- there is nothing worse than receiving a
terse message that only says 'it doesn't work'.
Patches
-------
For larger changes please provide merge requests at
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/merge_requests
Alternatively, you can send patches to the `freetype-devel@nongnu.org`
mailing list -- and thank you in advance for your work on improving
FreeType!
Details on the process can be found here:
https://www.freetype.org/developer.html#patches
Enjoy!
