Introduction
============
To be able to use freetype python, you need the freetype library version 2
installed on your system.
Pre-requisites
==============
You need to have the Freetype library installed on your system to be able to use
the freetype python bindings.
.. warning::
If you don't compile the Freetype library yourself, chances are subpixel
anti-aliasing will be disabled due to patent problems. Have a look at
`Freetype FAQ <http://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/ft2faq.html#builds>`_
to know how to enable it.
Mac users
---------
Freetype should be already installed on your system. If not, either install it
using `homebrew <http://brew.sh>`_ or compile it and place the library binary
file in '/usr/local/lib'.
Linux users
-----------
Freetype should be already installed on your system. If not, either install
relevant package from your package manager or compile from sources and place
the library binary file in '/usr/local/lib'.
Window users
------------
You can try to install a window binaries available from the Freetype site or
you can compile it from sources. In such a case, make sure the resulting
library binaries is named 'Freetype.dll' (and not something like
Freetype245.dll) and make sure to place a copy in Windows/System32 directory.
Installation
============
The easiest way to install freetype-pu is to use pip::
pip install freetype-py
Or you can get the latest version from git and install yourself::
git clone https://github.com/rougier/freetype-py.git
cd freetype-py
