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 under the zlib license, see the file "COPYING.txt" for details. | |
