+This is a port of the Freetype font rasterizer (www.freetype.org) to the Go
+programming language (golang.org).
+
+To download and install from source:
+$ go get code.google.com/p/freetype-go/freetype
+
+It is an incomplete port:
+ * It only supports TrueType fonts, and not Type 1 fonts nor bitmap fonts.
+ * It only supports the Unicode encoding.
+
+There are also some implementation differences:
+ * It uses a 24.8 fixed point co-ordinate system everywhere internally,
+ as opposed to the original Freetype's mix of 26.6 (or 10.6 for 16-bit
+ systems) in some places, and 24.8 in the "smooth" rasterizer.
+
+Freetype-Go is derived from Freetype, which is written in C. Freetype is
+copyright 1996-2010 David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg.
+Freetype-Go is copyright The Freetype-Go Authors, who are listed in the
+AUTHORS file.
