+The Freetype font rasterizer in the Go programming language.
+
+To download and install from source:
+$ go get github.com/golang/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 26.6 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.
+
