+FTGL Version 2.0
+
+FTGL on windows can be built a ether a dynamic link library (DLL) with export lib (lib)
+or a static library (lib).
+
+FTGL requires the Freetype2 library (version 2.3.5 r).
+You will need to define the environment variable
+FREETYPE to contain the full path to your freetype2 sources.
+
+the VC8 dir contains projects for use with Visual C++ 2005 and 2008, and can build
+both the dynamic and static libs.
+
+the VC71 dir contains projects for use with Visual C++ 2003 and can only build a dynamic lib.
+
+To use FTGL in your own projects you will need to link against ether the static lib, or the DLL export lib
+All builds use the multithreaded runtimes.
+Your project will also need to include freetype2 and OpenGL.
+
+For instructions on using Freetype go to www.freetype.org
+For instructions on using OpenGL go to www.opengl.org
