+(1) What is libotf?
+
+The library "libotf" provides the following facilites.
+
+    o Read Open Type Layout Tables from OTF file.  Currently these
+      tables are supported; head, name, cmap, GDEF, GSUB, and GPOS.
+
+    o Convert a Unicode character sequence to a glyph code sequence by
+      using the above tables.
+
+The combination of libotf and the FreeType library (Ver.2) realizes
+CTL (complex text layout) by OpenType fonts.
+
+It seems that the probject Free Type Layout provides the similar (or
+better) facility as this library, but currently they have not yet
+released their library.  So, we have developped this one.
