Special notes to Unix users

===========================

Please read the file `docs/UPGRADE.UNIX'. It contains important

information regarding the installation of FreeType on Unix systems,

especially GNU based operating systems like GNU/Linux.

FreeType 2's library is called `libfreetype', FreeType 1's library

is called `libttf'. They are *not* compatible!

FreeType 2.4.4

==============

Please read the docs/CHANGES file, it contains IMPORTANT

INFORMATION.

Read the files `docs/INSTALL' for installation instructions.

The FreeType 2 API reference is located in `docs/reference'; use the

file `ft2-doc.html' as the top entry point. Additional

documentation is available as a separate package from our sites. Go

to

http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/

and download one of the following files.

Bugs

====

Please 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'.

Alternatively, you may submit a bug report at

https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?group=freetype

Enjoy!
