# Imager::Font::FT2(3pm)

font support using FreeType 2

## NAME

Imager::Font::FT2 - font support using FreeType 2

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use Imager;
  my $img = Imager->new;
  my $font = Imager::Font->new(file => "foo.ttf", type => "ft2");
  $img->string(... font => $font);
```

## DESCRIPTION

This provides font support on FreeType 2.

## CAVEATS

Unfortunately, older versions of Imager would install `"Imager::Font::FreeType2"` even if FreeType 2 wasn't available, and if no font was created would succeed in loading the module.  This means that an existing `"FreeType2.pm"` could cause a probe success for supported font files, so I've renamed it.
