+                          Installing GNU FreeFont
+                          =======================
+
+GNU FreeFont can be used in any modern operating system.
+
+This document explains how to install FreeFont on some common systems.
+
+UNIX/GNU/Linux/BSD Systems
+--------------------------
+
+FreeFont works with any system using the free font rasterizer FreeType
+<http://www.freetype.org/>.  Some features such as glyph substitution and
+positioning may be handled by the text layout library
+Pango <http://www.pango.org/>.
+
+Most recent systems using FreeType2 and Pango handle OpenType fonts well,
+but on older systems TrueType may perform better.
+
+* Debian GNU/Linux
+
+Users of Debian GNU/Linux system will probably want to use the Debian package,
+named 'ttf-freefont', available from the Debian Linux site.
+
+Install the fonts by issuing the command
+	apt-get install ttf-freefont
+
+
+* KDE local installation
+
+Users of KDE can install .ttf files on a per-user basis using the KDE 
+Control Center module "kcmfontinst", which may appear in the menu as
+
+	Settings -> System Administration -> Font Installer
+
+This is especially helpful for developers and testers.
+
+
+* Generic X Window systems
+
+	1) Fetch the freefont-ttf.tar.gz package with Free UCS outline fonts
+	   in the TrueType format.
+
+	2) Unpack TrueType fonts into a suitable directory,
+	   e.g. /usr/local/share/fonts/default/TrueType/
+
+	3) If you have chosen any other directory, make sure the directory you
+	   used to install the fonts is listed in the path searched by the X
+	   Font Server by editing the config file in /etc/X11/.
+
+	   In some systems, you list the directory in the item "catalogue="
+	   in the file /etc/X11/fs/config.
+
+	4) Run ttmkfdir in the directory where you unpacked the fonts.
+
+
+Microsoft Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP; Vista/7
+-------------------------------------------
+
+Note that in at least Windows 7, Vista, XP and 2000, the TrueType versions
+perform much better than, and are recommended over, the OpenType ones.
+
+For good font smoothing in Windows, Microsoft ClearType must be enabled.
+The native Windows web browser must be used to install, enable, and configure
+ClearType. A web search for "ClearType Tuner" will find the proper web pages.
+Recent versions of the browser raise a security block (a yellow bar at the
+top of the window), which you must act upon to allow installation.  A
+checkbox in the window turns ClearType on (in Win-speek, "Turn on ClearType").
+The change happens immediately.
+
+* Vista, Windows 7:
+	1) From the Start menu, open Control Panels
+	2) Drag-n-drop font files onto Fonts control panel
+           You may get a dialog saying
+        	"Windows needs your permission to continue"
+	   a) Click Continue
+
+* 95/98/NT:
+	The font installation is similar to Vista.
+
+	In order to use OpenType, users of Windows 95, 98 and NT 4.0 can
+	install Adobe's 'Type Manager Light', which may be obtained from
+	the Adobe web site.
+
+	Otherwise, use the TrueType versions.
+
+Apple Mac OS X
+--------------
+
+Support for OpenType on MacOS X started with OS 10.4, and has been improved
+gradually in later versions.
+
+Installing on Mac OS X consists of moving the font files to either
+	/Library/Fonts/  or  ~/Library/Fonts/
+depending on whether they should be available to all users on your system
+or just to your own user.
