The ``myfont`` instance will then be used by the device driver to render strings

# Dependencies, links and licence
The code is released under the MIT licence.
The module relies on [Freetype](https://www.freetype.org/) which is included in most Linux distributions.

# Implementation
This section of the README is intended for writers of device drivers.
