-Notes
-=====
-
- - By default, Pango tries to build itself so that no explicit
- dependency on Xft or FreeType will be introduced in apps that
- link to Pango. This is to avoid compatibility problems with
- changes in the Xft or FreeType API's or ABI's. Specifying
- --enable-explicit-deps or --enable-static when configuring Pango
- will defeat this and should be avoided if possible.
+Installation of Pango on Win32 is possible, see README.win32.
