 ftbench
 ========
 
-ftbench is a program designed to run FreeType benchmarks. It accepts various options and a font name to run specific tests on font rendering operations.
+ftbench is a program designed to run FreeType benchmarks between versions.
+It accepts various options to run specific tests on font rendering operations.
 
 Each test may involve tasks such as:
 
 . Initializing the library
 . Opening the font file
-. Loading and optionally rendering each glyph
 . Comparing results with cached versions (if available)
 . Configuring specific charmap indices, load flags, etc.
 
-Usage is time-limited or can be explicitly set to use a maximum number of iterations per test.

-Compilation
+Usage
 -----------
 
-make baseline   To create a baseline for your benchmarks, use the `make baseline` command. This will compile the ftbench.c and create a set of baseline measurements in the objs/baseline/ directory.
+make baseline <flags>   To create a baseline for your benchmarks,
+use the `make baseline` command.  This will compile the ftbench.c and
+create a set of baseline measurements in the objs/baseline/ directory.
 
-make benchmark  To run the benchmarks, use the `make benchmark` command. The results will be stored in the objs/benchmark/ directory. It will copy tohtml.py script to objs/ and generate a html file.

-make clean-benchmark    To remove all generated benchmark files and clean the objs directory, use the `make clean-benchmark` command.
+make benchmark <flags>  To run the benchmarks, use the `make benchmark` command.
