    DESCRIPTION:
    
    FTGL is a free open source library to enable developers to use arbitrary
    fonts in their OpenGL (www.opengl.org)  applications.
    Unlike other OpenGL font libraries FTGL uses standard font file formats
    so doesn't need a preprocessing step to convert the high quality font data
    into a lesser quality, proprietary format.
    FTGL uses the Freetype (www.freetype.org) font library to open and 'decode'
    the fonts. It then takes that output and stores it in a format most efficient
    for OpenGL rendering.
    
    Rendering modes supported are
    - Bit maps
    - Antialiased Pix maps
    - Texture maps
    - Outlines
    - Polygon meshes
    - Extruded polygon meshes
    
    FTGL is designed to be used in commercial quality software. It has been
    written with performance, robustness and simplicity in mind.
    
    USAGE:
    
    	FTGLPixmapFont font( "Fonts:Arial");
    
    	font.FaceSize( 72);
    	
    	font.render( "Hello World!");
