* outline's points, including Bezier control points. Though it
* coincides with the exact bounding box for most glyphs, it can be
* slightly larger in some situations (like when rotating an outline that
* contains Bezier outside arcs).
*
* Computing the control box is very fast, while getting the bounding box
* can take much more time as it needs to walk over all segments and arcs
* in the outline. To get the latter, you can use the 'ftbbox'
* component, which is dedicated to this single task.

* values.

* The glyph coordinate bounding box. Coordinates are expressed in
* 1/64th of pixels if it is grid-fitted.
*
* @note:
* Coordinates are relative to the glyph origin, using the y~upwards
* convention.
*
* If the glyph has been loaded with @FT_LOAD_NO_SCALE, `bbox_mode` must
* be set to @FT_GLYPH_BBOX_UNSCALED to get unscaled font units in 26.6
* pixel format. The value @FT_GLYPH_BBOX_SUBPIXELS is another name for
* this constant.
*
* If the font is tricky and the glyph has been loaded with
* @FT_LOAD_NO_SCALE, the resulting CBox is meaningless. To get
* reasonable values for the CBox it is necessary to load the glyph at a
* large ppem value (so that the hinting instructions can properly shift
* and scale the subglyphs), then extracting the CBox, which can be
* eventually converted back to font units.
*
* Note that the maximum coordinates are exclusive, which means that one
* can compute the width and height of the glyph image (be it in integer
* or 26.6 pixels) as:
*
* ```
* width = bbox.xMax - bbox.xMin;
* height = bbox.yMax - bbox.yMin;
* ```
*
* Note also that for 26.6 coordinates, if `bbox_mode` is set to
* @FT_GLYPH_BBOX_GRIDFIT, the coordinates will also be grid-fitted,
* which corresponds to:
*
* ```
* bbox.xMin = FLOOR(bbox.xMin);
* bbox.yMin = FLOOR(bbox.yMin);
* bbox.xMax = CEILING(bbox.xMax);
* bbox.yMax = CEILING(bbox.yMax);
* ```
*
* To get the bbox in pixel coordinates, set `bbox_mode` to
* @FT_GLYPH_BBOX_TRUNCATE.
*
* To get the bbox in grid-fitted pixel coordinates, set `bbox_mode` to
* @FT_GLYPH_BBOX_PIXELS.
