FreeType庫是一個完全免費（開源）的、高質量的且可移植的字型引擎，它提供統一的介面來訪問多種字型格式檔案，包括TrueType,OpenType,Type1,CID,CFF,Windows FON/FNT,X11 PCF等。在做影象展示的時候，可以寫入中文文字，效果還是很好。

在之前安裝庫時基本都是直接切換到python3.6環境下直接pip install XXX，在安裝freetype直接pip install freetype不可以了，查了半天又是編譯又是官網下載的，太麻煩，不推薦。

（1）正確的安裝方法：
注意：一定要加上 -py

pip install freetype-py

（2）常用呼叫方法

已經封裝好了一個檔案，可直接儲存後呼叫。
