 Read INSTALL for details on building LibUniNamesList using this package.
 This package contains 2 libraries, but only 1 is built by default:
 	1) libuninameslist - holds NamesList.txt data from www.unicode.org
-	2) libuninameslist-fr - currently holds French 13.0 NamesList.txt
+	2) libuninameslist-fr - holds French ListeNoms.txt (NamesList.txt)

@@ -81,8 +81,13 @@ Building and Installing LibUniNamesList and LibUniNamesList-fr
 The French library was built with the intention of maintaining backwards
 compatibility with older programs (like FontForge 20120731), so it is a
 separate library, but in this case, it is also linked to the base library.
+This allows modern programs to link to libuninameslist which then also
+links to libuninameslist-fr, and you can query information through the
+main libuninameslist.
 If you ran 'configure' and 'make' earlier, you need to run 'make clean'
 to remove the earlier libuninameslist (which won't link to this library).
+NOTE: libuninameslist is built differently here so that it also links to
+libuninameslist-fr
 
 NOTE: You may need to run 'make clean' if you ran "./configure; make" earlier.
