* @description:
* While FreeType's CFF driver doesn't expose API functions by itself, it
* is possible to control its behaviour with @FT_Property_Set and
* @FT_Property_Get.
*
* The CFF driver's module name is 'cff'.
*
* Available properties are @hinting-engine, @no-stem-darkening,
* @darkening-parameters, and @random-seed, as documented in the
* @properties section.
*
*
* **Hinting and antialiasing principles of the new engine**
*
* The rasterizer is positioning horizontal features (e.g., ascender
* height & x-height, or crossbars) on the pixel grid and minimizing the
* amount of antialiasing applied to them, while placing vertical
* features (vertical stems) on the pixel grid without hinting, thus
* representing the stem position and weight accurately. Sometimes the
* vertical stems may be only partially black. In this context,
* 'antialiasing' means that stems are not positioned exactly on pixel
* borders, causing a fuzzy appearance.
*
* There are two principles behind this approach.
*
* 1) No hinting in the horizontal direction: Unlike 'superhinted'
* TrueType, which changes glyph widths to accommodate regular
* inter-glyph spacing, Adobe's approach is 'faithful to the design' in
* representing both the glyph width and the inter-glyph spacing designed
* for the font. This makes the screen display as close as it can be to
* the result one would get with infinite resolution, while preserving
* what is considered the key characteristics of each glyph. Note that
* the distances between unhinted and grid-fitted positions at small
* sizes are comparable to kerning values and thus would be noticeable
* (and distracting) while reading if hinting were applied.
*
* One of the reasons to not hint horizontally is antialiasing for LCD
* screens: The pixel geometry of modern displays supplies three vertical
* subpixels as the eye moves horizontally across each visible pixel. On
* devices where we can be certain this characteristic is present a
* rasterizer can take advantage of the subpixels to add increments of
* weight. In Western writing systems this turns out to be the more
* critical direction anyway; the weights and spacing of vertical stems
* (see above) are central to Armenian, Cyrillic, Greek, and Latin type
* designs. Even when the rasterizer uses greyscale antialiasing instead
* of color (a necessary compromise when one doesn't know the screen
* characteristics), the unhinted vertical features preserve the design's
* weight and spacing much better than aliased type would.
*
* 2) Alignment in the vertical direction: Weights and spacing along the
* y~axis are less critical; what is much more important is the visual
* alignment of related features (like cap-height and x-height). The
* sense of alignment for these is enhanced by the sharpness of grid-fit
* edges, while the cruder vertical resolution (full pixels instead of
* 1/3 pixels) is less of a problem.
*
* On the technical side, horizontal alignment zones for ascender,
* x-height, and other important height values (traditionally called
* 'blue zones') as defined in the font are positioned independently,
* each being rounded to the nearest pixel edge, taking care of overshoot
* suppression at small sizes, stem darkening, and scaling.
*
* Hstems (this is, hint values defined in the font to help align
* horizontal features) that fall within a blue zone are said to be
* 'captured' and are aligned to that zone. Uncaptured stems are moved
* in one of four ways, top edge up or down, bottom edge up or down.
* Unless there are conflicting hstems, the smallest movement is taken to
* minimize distortion.

* The TrueType driver
*
* @abstract:
* Controlling the TrueType driver module.
*
* @description:
* While FreeType's TrueType driver doesn't expose API functions by
* itself, it is possible to control its behaviour with @FT_Property_Set
* and @FT_Property_Get. The following lists the available properties
* together with the necessary macros and structures.
*
* The TrueType driver's module name is 'truetype'.
*
* A single property @interpreter-version is available, as documented in
* the @properties section.
*
* We start with a list of definitions, kindly provided by Greg
* Hitchcock.
*
* _Bi-Level Rendering_
*
* Monochromatic rendering, exclusively used in the early days of
* TrueType by both Apple and Microsoft. Microsoft's GDI interface
* supported hinting of the right-side bearing point, such that the
* advance width could be non-linear. Most often this was done to
* achieve some level of glyph symmetry. To enable reasonable
* performance (e.g., not having to run hinting on all glyphs just to get
* the widths) there was a bit in the head table indicating if the side
* bearing was hinted, and additional tables, 'hdmx' and 'LTSH', to cache
* hinting widths across multiple sizes and device aspect ratios.
*
* _Font Smoothing_
*
* Microsoft's GDI implementation of anti-aliasing. Not traditional
* anti-aliasing as the outlines were hinted before the sampling. The
* widths matched the bi-level rendering.
*
* _ClearType Rendering_
*
* Technique that uses physical subpixels to improve rendering on LCD
* (and other) displays. Because of the higher resolution, many methods
* of improving symmetry in glyphs through hinting the right-side bearing
* were no longer necessary. This lead to what GDI calls 'natural
* widths' ClearType, see
* http://rastertragedy.com/RTRCh4.htm#Sec21. Since hinting
* has extra resolution, most non-linearity went away, but it is still
* possible for hints to change the advance widths in this mode.
*
* _ClearType Compatible Widths_
*
* One of the earliest challenges with ClearType was allowing the
* implementation in GDI to be selected without requiring all UI and
* documents to reflow. To address this, a compatible method of
* rendering ClearType was added where the font hints are executed once
* to determine the width in bi-level rendering, and then re-run in
* ClearType, with the difference in widths being absorbed in the font
* hints for ClearType (mostly in the white space of hints); see
* http://rastertragedy.com/RTRCh4.htm#Sec20. Somewhat by
* definition, compatible width ClearType allows for non-linear widths,
* but only when the bi-level version has non-linear widths.
*
* _ClearType Subpixel Positioning_
*
* One of the nice benefits of ClearType is the ability to more crisply
* display fractional widths; unfortunately, the GDI model of integer
* bitmaps did not support this. However, the WPF and Direct Write
* frameworks do support fractional widths. DWrite calls this 'natural
* mode', not to be confused with GDI's 'natural widths'. Subpixel
* positioning, in the current implementation of Direct Write,
* unfortunately does not support hinted advance widths, see
* http://rastertragedy.com/RTRCh4.htm#Sec22. Note that the
* TrueType interpreter fully allows the advance width to be adjusted in
* this mode, just the DWrite client will ignore those changes.
*
* _ClearType Backward Compatibility_
*
* This is a set of exceptions made in the TrueType interpreter to
* minimize hinting techniques that were problematic with the extra
* resolution of ClearType; see
* http://rastertragedy.com/RTRCh4.htm#Sec1 and
* https://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/truetypecleartype.aspx.
* This technique is not to be confused with ClearType compatible widths.
* ClearType backward compatibility has no direct impact on changing
* advance widths, but there might be an indirect impact on disabling
* some deltas. This could be worked around in backward compatibility
* mode.
*
* _Native ClearType Mode_
*
* (Not to be confused with 'natural widths'.) This mode removes all the
* exceptions in the TrueType interpreter when running with ClearType.
* Any issues on widths would still apply, though.

/**************************************************************************
*
* @property:
* no-stem-darkening
*
* @description:
* All glyphs that pass through the auto-hinter will be emboldened unless
* this property is set to TRUE. The same is true for the CFF, Type~1,
* and CID font modules if the 'Adobe' engine is selected (which is the
* default).
*
* Stem darkening emboldens glyphs at smaller sizes to make them more
* readable on common low-DPI screens when using linear alpha blending
* and gamma correction, see @FT_Render_Glyph. When not using linear
* alpha blending and gamma correction, glyphs will appear heavy and
* fuzzy!
*
* Gamma correction essentially lightens fonts since shades of grey are
* shifted to higher pixel values (=~higher brightness) to match the
* original intention to the reality of our screens. The side-effect is
* that glyphs 'thin out'. Mac OS~X and Adobe's proprietary font
* rendering library implement a counter-measure: stem darkening at
* smaller sizes where shades of gray dominate. By emboldening a glyph
* slightly in relation to its pixel size, individual pixels get higher
* coverage of filled-in outlines and are therefore 'blacker'. This
* counteracts the 'thinning out' of glyphs, making text remain readable
* at smaller sizes.
*
* For the auto-hinter, stem-darkening is experimental currently and thus
* switched off by default (this is, `no-stem-darkening` is set to TRUE
* by default). Total consistency with the CFF driver is not achieved
* right now because the emboldening method differs and glyphs must be
* scaled down on the Y-axis to keep outline points inside their
* precomputed blue zones. The smaller the size (especially 9ppem and
* down), the higher the loss of emboldening versus the CFF driver.
*
* Note that stem darkening is never applied if @FT_LOAD_NO_SCALE is set.
*
* @note:
* This property can be used with @FT_Property_Get also.
*
* This property can be set via the `FREETYPE_PROPERTIES` environment
* variable (using values 1 and 0 for 'on' and 'off', respectively). It
* can also be set per face using @FT_Face_Properties with
* @FT_PARAM_TAG_STEM_DARKENING.
*
* @example:
* ```
* FT_Library library;
* FT_Bool no_stem_darkening = TRUE;

/**************************************************************************
*
* @property:
* darkening-parameters
*
* @description:
* By default, the Adobe hinting engine, as used by the CFF, Type~1, and

* stem width <= 0.5px: darkening amount = 0.4px
* stem width = 1px: darkening amount = 0.275px
* stem width = 1.667px: darkening amount = 0.275px
* stem width >= 2.333px: darkening amount = 0px
* ```
*
* and piecewise linear in-between. At configuration time, these four
* control points can be set with the macro
* `CFF_CONFIG_OPTION_DARKENING_PARAMETERS`; the CFF, Type~1, and CID
* drivers share these values. At runtime, the control points can be
* changed using the `darkening-parameters` property (see the example
* below that demonstrates this for the Type~1 driver).
*
* The x~values give the stem width, and the y~values the darkening
* amount. The unit is 1000th of pixels. All coordinate values must be
* positive; the x~values must be monotonically increasing; the y~values
* must be monotonically decreasing and smaller than or equal to 500
* (corresponding to half a pixel); the slope of each linear piece must
* be shallower than -1 (e.g., -.4).
*
* The auto-hinter provides this property, too, as an experimental

* Depending on the graphics framework, Microsoft uses different bytecode
* and rendering engines. As a consequence, the version numbers returned
* by a call to the 'GETINFO' bytecode instruction are more convoluted
* than desired.
*
* Here are two tables that try to shed some light on the possible values
* for the MS rasterizer engine, together with the additional features
* introduced by it.
*
* ```
* GETINFO framework version feature
* -------------------------------------------------------------------
* 3 GDI (Win 3.1), v1.0 16-bit, first version
* TrueImage
* 33 GDI (Win NT 3.1), v1.5 32-bit
* HP Laserjet
* 34 GDI (Win 95) v1.6 font smoothing,
* new SCANTYPE opcode
* 35 GDI (Win 98/2000) v1.7 (UN)SCALED_COMPONENT_OFFSET
* bits in composite glyphs
* 36 MGDI (Win CE 2) v1.6+ classic ClearType
* 37 GDI (XP and later), v1.8 ClearType
* GDI+ old (before Vista)
* 38 GDI+ old (Vista, Win 7), v1.9 subpixel ClearType,
* WPF Y-direction ClearType,
* additional error checking
* 39 DWrite (before Win 8) v2.0 subpixel ClearType flags
* in GETINFO opcode,
* bug fixes
* 40 GDI+ (after Win 7), v2.1 Y-direction ClearType flag
* DWrite (Win 8) in GETINFO opcode,
* Gray ClearType
* ```
*
* The 'version' field gives a rough orientation only, since some
* applications provided certain features much earlier (as an example,
* Microsoft Reader used subpixel and Y-direction ClearType already in
* Windows 2000). Similarly, updates to a given framework might include
* improved hinting support.
*
* ```
* version sampling rendering comment
* x y x y
* --------------------------------------------------------------
* v1.0 normal normal B/W B/W bi-level
* v1.6 high high gray gray grayscale
* v1.8 high normal color-filter B/W (GDI) ClearType
* v1.9 high high color-filter gray Color ClearType
* v2.1 high normal gray B/W Gray ClearType
* v2.1 high high gray gray Gray ClearType
* ```
*
* Color and Gray ClearType are the two available variants of
* 'Y-direction ClearType', meaning grayscale rasterization along the
* Y-direction; the name used in the TrueType specification for this
* feature is 'symmetric smoothing'. 'Classic ClearType' is the original
* algorithm used before introducing a modified version in Win~XP.
* Another name for v1.6's grayscale rendering is 'font smoothing', and
* 'Color ClearType' is sometimes also called 'DWrite ClearType'. To
* differentiate between today's Color ClearType and the earlier
* ClearType variant with B/W rendering along the vertical axis, the
* latter is sometimes called 'GDI ClearType'.
*
* 'Normal' and 'high' sampling describe the (virtual) resolution to
* access the rasterized outline after the hinting process. 'Normal'
* means 1 sample per grid line (i.e., B/W). In the current Microsoft
* implementation, 'high' means an extra virtual resolution of 16x16 (or
* 16x1) grid lines per pixel for bytecode instructions like 'MIRP'.
* After hinting, these 16 grid lines are mapped to 6x5 (or 6x1) grid
* lines for color filtering if Color ClearType is activated.
*
* Note that 'Gray ClearType' is essentially the same as v1.6's grayscale
* rendering. However, the GETINFO instruction handles it differently:
* v1.6 returns bit~12 (hinting for grayscale), while v2.1 returns
* bits~13 (hinting for ClearType), 18 (symmetrical smoothing), and~19
* (Gray ClearType). Also, this mode respects bits 2 and~3 for the
* version~1 gasp table exclusively (like Color ClearType), while v1.6
* only respects the values of version~0 (bits 0 and~1).
*
* Keep in mind that the features of the above interpreter versions might
* not map exactly to FreeType features or behavior because it is a
* fundamentally different library with different internals.

* interpreter with subpixel hinting support (old 'Infinality' code and
* new stripped-down and higher performance 'minimal' code) and one
* without, respectively. The default is subpixel support if
* `TT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_HINTING` is defined, and no subpixel
* support otherwise (since it isn't available then).
*
* If subpixel hinting is on, many TrueType bytecode instructions behave
* differently compared to B/W or grayscale rendering (except if 'native
* ClearType' is selected by the font). Microsoft's main idea is to
* render at a much increased horizontal resolution, then sampling down
* the created output to subpixel precision. However, many older fonts
* are not suited to this and must be specially taken care of by applying
* (hardcoded) tweaks in Microsoft's interpreter.
*
* Details on subpixel hinting and some of the necessary tweaks can be
* found in Greg Hitchcock's whitepaper at
* 'https://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/truetypecleartype.aspx'.
* Note that FreeType currently doesn't really 'subpixel hint' (6x1, 6x2,
* or 6x5 supersampling) like discussed in the paper. Depending on the
* chosen interpreter, it simply ignores instructions on vertical stems
* to arrive at very similar results.
*
* @note:
* This property can be used with @FT_Property_Get also.
*
* This property can be set via the `FREETYPE_PROPERTIES` environment
* variable (using values '35', '38', or '40').
*
* @example:
* The following example code demonstrates how to deactivate subpixel
* hinting (omitting the error handling).
*
* ```
* FT_Library library;
* FT_Face face;
* FT_UInt interpreter_version = TT_INTERPRETER_VERSION_35;
*
*
* FT_Init_FreeType( &library );
*
* FT_Property_Set( library, "truetype",
* "interpreter-version",
* &interpreter_version );

* @property:
* glyph-to-script-map
*
* @description:
* **Experimental only**
*
* The auto-hinter provides various script modules to hint glyphs.
* Examples of supported scripts are Latin or CJK. Before a glyph is
* auto-hinted, the Unicode character map of the font gets examined, and
* the script is then determined based on Unicode character ranges, see
* below.
*
* OpenType fonts, however, often provide much more glyphs than character
* codes (small caps, superscripts, ligatures, swashes, etc.), to be
* controlled by so-called 'features'. Handling OpenType features can be
* quite complicated and thus needs a separate library on top of
* FreeType.
*
* The mapping between glyph indices and scripts (in the auto-hinter
* sense, see the @FT_AUTOHINTER_SCRIPT_XXX values) is stored as an array
* with `num_glyphs` elements, as found in the font's @FT_Face structure.
* The `glyph-to-script-map` property returns a pointer to this array,
* which can be modified as needed. Note that the modification should
* happen before the first glyph gets processed by the auto-hinter so
* that the global analysis of the font shapes actually uses the modified
* mapping.
*
* @example:
* The following example code demonstrates how to access it (omitting the
* error handling).
*
* ```
* FT_Library library;
* FT_Face face;
* FT_Prop_GlyphToScriptMap prop;
*
*
* FT_Init_FreeType( &library );
* FT_New_Face( library, "foo.ttf", 0, &face );
*
* prop.face = face;
*
* FT_Property_Get( library, "autofitter",
* "glyph-to-script-map", &prop );
*
* // adjust `prop.map' as needed right here
*
* FT_Load_Glyph( face, ..., FT_LOAD_FORCE_AUTOHINT );

* switches warping on and off.
*
* Warping only works in 'normal' auto-hinting mode replacing it. The

* out a glyph's optimal scaling and shifting value, various parameter
* combinations are tried and scored.
*
* By default, warping is off.
*
* @note:
* This property can be used with @FT_Property_Get also.
*
* This property can be set via the `FREETYPE_PROPERTIES` environment
* variable (using values 1 and 0 for 'on' and 'off', respectively).
*
* The warping code can also change advance widths. Have a look at the
* `lsb_delta` and `rsb_delta` fields in the @FT_GlyphSlotRec structure
* for details on improving inter-glyph distances while rendering.
*
* Since warping is a global property of the auto-hinter it is best to
* change its value before rendering any face. Otherwise, you should
* reload all faces that get auto-hinted in 'normal' hinting mode.
