Please improve the long descriptions, some hints:

This line is useless, at least to me. What does it mean "a lot of
functions"? A lot of functions to do what kind of operations? I still
don't get from the descriptions whether they are some low-level
encoding handling functions or some high-level functions like text
layout (like boxes et al.).

Is this line useful? "interacts well with other projects" sounds like
marketing and nothing else ...

Thanks!
Cheers.
