-This library is a wrapper around the excellent FreeType 2.0 library,
-available at:
- http://www.freetype.org/
+SDL_ttf 2.0
-This library allows you to use TrueType fonts to render text in SDL
-applications.
+The latest version of this library is available from GitHub:
+https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL_ttf/releases
-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.
+This library is a wrapper around the FreeType and Harfbuzz libraries, allowing 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.
+See the header file SDL_ttf.h and the example showfont.c for documentation on this library. This documentation is also available online at https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL_ttf
