Description: FreeType high-level python API
        ==============================
        
        Freetype python provides bindings for the FreeType library. Only the high-level API is bound.
        
        Documentation available at: http://freetype-py.readthedocs.org/en/latest/
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        To be able to use freetype python, you need the freetype library version 2
        installed on your system.
        
        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.
        
        Usage example
        =============
        
        .. code:: python
        
           import freetype
           face = freetype.Face("Vera.ttf")
           face.set_char_size( 48*64 )
           face.load_char('S')
           bitmap = face.glyph.bitmap
           print bitmap.buffer
        
        Screenshots
        ===========
        
        Screenshot below comes from the wordle.py example. No clever tricks here, just
        brute force.
        
        .. image:: doc/_static/wordle.png
        
        Screenshots below comes from the glyph-vector.py and glyph-vectopr-2.py
        examples showing how to access a glyph outline information and use it to draw
        the glyph. Rendering (with Bézier curves) is done using matplotlib.
        
        .. image:: doc/_static/S.png
        .. image:: doc/_static/G.png
        
        
        Screenshot below comes from the glyph-color.py showing how to draw and combine
        a glyph outline with the regular glyph.
        
        .. image:: doc/_static/outline.png
        
        The screenshot below comes from the hello-world.py example showing how to draw
        text in a bitmap (that has been zoomed in to show antialiasing).
        
        .. image:: doc/_static/hello-world.png
        
        
        The screenshot below comes from the agg-trick.py example showing an
        implementation of ideas from the `Texts Rasterization Exposures
        <http://agg.sourceforge.net/antigrain.com/research/font_rasterization/>`_ by
        Maxim Shemarev.
