---------------------- GIMP FreeType ------------------------
     A GIMP font renderer based on the freetype library
-------------------------------------------------------------

GIMP-FreeType is a plug-in for The GIMP that uses the freetype2
library to do font rendering. With GIMP version 2.0, GIMP's text
rendering has improved a lot and this plug-in became less important.
However there are still some things that only this plug-in can do; so
it may still be useful sometimes.

You need GIMP-2.0 and FreeType2 to compile this plug-in.  FreeType2
can be grabbed from http://www.freetype.org/. To compile and install
gimp-freetype, run
 
   ./configure
   make
   make install   (this step needs root priviledges)
