+This is HarfBuzz, an OpenType Layout engine.
+
+It was derived originally from the OpenType code in FreeType-1.x, ported to
+FreeType2. (This code has been abandoned for FreeType2, but until something
+better comes along, should serve our purposes.) In addition to porting to
+FreeType-2, it has been modified in various other ways.
+
+It also includes a partial XML dumper for OpenType Layout tables useful for
+figuring out what is going on. Please extend to cover additional parts of the
+tables as you encounter fonts using them. The dumper is written by Owen Taylor.
+
+Bug reports on these files should be sent to the HarfBuzz mailing list as
+listed on http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/harfbuzz
+
+For license information, see the file COPYING.
