vflib3 for Debian
-----------------

Major differences between VFlib 3.x and VFlib 2.x

  VFlib 2.x was designed only for Japanese Kanji fonts
    VFlib 3.6 has been multi-lingualized, so it can handle not only 
    Japanese Kanji fonts but also fonts for other languages 
    (e.g. Korean).
  
  Concept of font metrics is introduced in VFlib 3.6
    VFlib 2.x does not have the concept of font metrics since it assumes all
    characters have the same metrics. Font metrics is introduced in
    VFlib 3.6 and proportional fonts can be used now.
  
  Syntax of vflibcap file has been changed
    The syntax of vflibcap file is massively revised. VFlib 2.x adopted
    termcap-like notation, but now VFlib 3.6 adopts lisp-like
    notation.
  
  Arguments and return values of functions have been changed
    In VFlib 2.x, bitmaps of characters are written in a frame buffer
    which is given by an argument. But in VFlib 3.6, a bitmap object
    is returned.
