These portable\ngame files come in many formats. In the past, you used to have to download a\nseparate player (interpreter) for each format of IF you wanted to play.\n\nGargoyle is based on the standard interpreters for the formats it supports.\nGargoyle is free software released under the terms of the GNU General Public\nLicense.\n\nGargoyle can be downloaded from the [releases page](https://github.com/garglk/garglk/releases).\n\n## Typography in interactive fiction\n\nGargoyle cares about typography! In this computer age of typographical poverty,\nwhere horrible fonts, dazzling colors, and inadequate white space is God,\nGargoyle dares to rebel!\n\n* Subpixel font rendering for LCD screens.\n* Unhinted anti-aliased fonts: beautiful, the way they were designed.\n* Adjustable gamma correction: tune the rendering for your screen.\n* Floating point text layout for even spacing.\n* Kerning for even more even spacing.\n* Smart quotes and other punctuation formatting.\n* Ligatures for \u201cfi\u201d, \u201cfl\u201d, \u201cff\u201d, \u201cffi\u201d, and \u201cffl\u201d.\n* Plenty o\u0027 margins.\n* Plenty o\u0027 line spacing.\n* Integrated scrollback.\n\nThe default fonts for Gargoyle are Charis SIL (as Gargoyle Serif) and Go Mono\n(as Gargoyle Mono). They are included,",
