Simple DirectMedia Layer

Please distribute this file with the SDL runtime environment: The Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL for short) is a cross-platform library designed to make it easy to write multi-media software, such as games and emulators. The Simple DirectMedia Layer library source code is available from: https://www.libsdl.org/ This library is distributed under the terms of the zlib license: http://www.zlib.net/zlib_license.html Bugs are now managed in the SDL bug tracker, here: https://bugzilla.libsdl.org/ You may report bugs there, and search to see if a given issue has already been reported, discussed, and maybe even fixed. You may also find help at the SDL forums/mailing list: https://discourse.libsdl.org/ Bug reports are welcome here, but we really appreciate if you use Bugzilla, as bugs discussed on the mailing list may be forgotten or missed.

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. Portions of this software are copyright © 2013 The FreeType Project (www.freetype.org). All rights reserved.
