+Set of demo programs and tools for freetype. Can be useful for testing
+and debugging problems with fonts (or with freetype itself). Includes
+these tools:
+
+ftbench  - benchmark some common FreeType paths
+ftchkwd  - test fixed font width
+ftdiff   - compare font hinting modes
+ftdump   - simple font dumper
+ftgamma  - screen gamma calibration helper
+ftgrid   - simple glyph grid viewer
+ftlint   - simple font tester
+ftmemchk - simple memory tester (tests FreeType's memory allocator)
+ftmulti  - multiple masters font viewer
+ftpatchk - tests whether patented hinting is necessary
+ftstring - string viewer (displays text in specified font)
+fttimer  - simple performance timer
+ftvalid  - font layout table validator
+ftview   - simple glyph viewer
+ttdebug  - a TrueType bytecode debugger
+
+Most of the commands have man pages. Also most of the commands show
+usage info if you run them with --help (or with no arguments).
+
+This package is known as "freetype2-demos" on Arch and Debian systems.
