+This library is a wrapper around the excellent FreeType library.
+
+WARNING: There may be patent issues with using the FreeType library. Check the
+FreeType website for up-to-date details.
+
+This library allows you to use TrueType fonts to render text in SDL
+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.
