This directory includes code for using OpenType Layout tables from
OpenType fonts with FreeType and 

The table reading code in:

 ftxopen.[ch]
 ftxopenf.h
 ftxgdef.[ch]
 ftxgpos.[ch]
 ftxgdef.[ch]

Is derived 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.)

This code should be left following the FreeType indentation style and
coding conventions.

In addition to porting to FreeType-2, it has been modified to
add support for PangoGlyphString's log_clusters, and in various
other ways. Bug reports on these files should be sent to 
gtk-i18n-list@gtk.org, NOT to the freetype maintainers.

The license for these files is in the file freetype-license.txt. 


Most of the additional files in this directory implement a high-level
interface to this that follows Pango conventions and integrates with
Pango.

disasm.[ch] is a partial dumper for OpenType layout tables useful
in figuring out what is going on. Please extend to cover additional
parts of the tables as you encounter fonts using them.
