This implies * the following scheme: * * First, available or installed font faces are uniquely identified by * @FTC_FaceID values, provided to the cache by the client. Note that * the cache only stores and compares these values, and doesn't try to * interpret them in any way. * * Second, the cache calls, only when needed, a client-provided function * to convert an @FTC_FaceID into a new @FT_Face object. The latter is * then completely managed by the cache, including its termination * through @FT_Done_Face. To monitor termination of face objects, the * finalizer callback in the `generic` field of the @FT_Face object can * be used, which might also be used to store the @FTC_FaceID of the * face. * * Clients are free to map face IDs to anything else. The most simple * usage is to associate them to a (pathname,face_index) pair that is * used to call @FT_New_Face. However, more complex schemes are also * possible. * * Note that for the cache to work correctly, the face ID values must be * **persistent**, which means that the contents they point to should not * change at runtime, or that their value should not become invalid. * * If this is unavoidable (e.g., when a font is uninstalled at runtime), * you should call @FTC_Manager_RemoveFaceID as soon as possible, to let * the cache get rid of any references to the old @FTC_FaceID it may keep * internally. Failure to do so will lead to incorrect behaviour or even * crashes. * * To use the cache, start with calling @FTC_Manager_New to create a new * @FTC_Manager object, which models a single cache instance. You can * then look up @FT_Face and @FT_Size objects with * @FTC_Manager_LookupFace and @FTC_Manager_LookupSize, respectively. * * If you want to use the charmap caching, call @FTC_CMapCache_New, then * later use @FTC_CMapCache_Lookup to perform the equivalent of * @FT_Get_Char_Index, only much faster. * * If you want to use the @FT_Glyph caching, call @FTC_ImageCache, then * later use @FTC_ImageCache_Lookup to retrieve the corresponding * @FT_Glyph objects from the cache. * * If you need lots of small bitmaps, it is much more memory efficient to * call @FTC_SBitCache_New followed by @FTC_SBitCache_Lookup. This * returns @FTC_SBitRec structures, which are used to store small bitmaps * directly. (A small bitmap is one whose metrics and dimensions all fit * into 8-bit integers). * * We hope to also provide a kerning cache in the near future. * * * @order: * FTC_Manager * FTC_FaceID * FTC_Face_Requester * * FTC_Manager_New * FTC_Manager_Reset * FTC_Manager_Done * FTC_Manager_LookupFace * FTC_Manager_LookupSize * FTC_Manager_RemoveFaceID * * FTC_Node * FTC_Node_Unref * * FTC_ImageCache * FTC_ImageCache_New * FTC_ImageCache_Lookup * * FTC_SBit * FTC_SBitCache * FTC_SBitCache_New * FTC_SBitCache_Lookup * * FTC_CMapCache * FTC_CMapCache_New * FTC_CMapCache_Lookup * *************************************************************************/ /*************************************************************************/ /*************************************************************************/ /*************************************************************************/ /***** *****/ /***** BASIC TYPE DEFINITIONS *****/ /***** *****/ /*************************************************************************/ /*************************************************************************/ /*************************************************************************/ /************************************************************************** * * @type: * FTC_FaceID * * @description: * An opaque pointer type that is used to identity face objects.
