+ 1. What's this?
+=================
+
+ The Liberation Fonts is font collection which aims display compatibility to
+ document files that used Times New Roman, Arial, Courier New as fonts.
+
+
+ 2. Requirements
+=================
+
+ * fontforge to be installed.
+ (http://fontforge.sourceforge.net)
+
+
+ 3. Install
+============
+
+ 3.1 Decompress tarball
+
+ You can extract the files by following command:
+
+ $ tar zxvf liberation-fonts-[VERSION].tar.gz
+
+ 3.2 Build from the source
+
+ Change into directory liberation-fonts-[VERSION]/ and build from sources by
+ following commands:
+
+ $ cd liberation-fonts-[VERSION]
+ $ make
+
+ The built font files will be available in 'build' directory.
+
+ 3.3 Install to system
+
+ You can manually install the fonts by copying the TTFs to ~/.fonts for user
+ wide usage, or to /usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation for system-wide
+ availability.
+
+
+ 4. Usage
+==========
+
+ The fonts should be installed and detected by the system after installation.
+ Simply select preferred liberation font in applications and start using.
+
+
+ 5. License
+============
+
+ For redistribution information, please read the GPL license file 'COPYING'.
+
+ For EULA information, please read file 'License.txt'.
+
+
+ 6. Maintainers
+================
+
+ (FIXME)
+ Before packaging a new release based on a new source tarball, you have to
+ update the version number in the Makefile:
+
+ VER = [VERSION]
+
+ Make sure that the defined version corresponds to the font software metadata
+which you can check with ftinfo/otfinfo or fontforge itself. It is highly recommended that file 'ChangeLog' is updated to reflect
+changes.
+
+Create a tarball with the following command:
+$ make dist
+
+The new versionned tarball will be available in the dist/ folder as
+'liberation-fonts-[NEW_VERSION].tar.gz'.
+ (FIXME)
+
