It is computed by scanning more or less + * aggressively the glyphs in the face, and thus can be + * very slow to compute (even if the size of global hints + * is really small). + * + * - glyph hints: These describe some important features of the glyph + * outline, as well as how to align them. They are + * generally much faster to compute than global hints. + * + * The current FreeType auto-hinter does a pretty good job while performing + * fast computations for both global and glyph hints. However, we might be + * interested in introducing more complex and powerful algorithms in the + * future, like the one described in the John D. Hobby paper, which + * unfortunately requires a lot more horsepower. + * + * Because a sufficiently sophisticated font management system would + * typically implement an LRU cache of opened face objects to reduce memory + * usage, it is a good idea to be able to avoid recomputing global hints + * every time the same face is re-opened. + * + * We thus provide the ability to cache global hints outside of the face + * object, in order to speed up font re-opening time. Of course, this + * feature is purely optional, so most client programs won't even notice + * it. + * + * I initially thought that it would be a good idea to cache the glyph + * hints too. However, my general idea now is that if you really need to + * cache these too, you are simply in need of a new font format, where all + * this information could be stored within the font file and decoded on the + * fly. + * + */ + + +#include <freetype/freetype.h> + + +FT_BEGIN_HEADER + + + typedef struct FT_AutoHinterRec_ *FT_AutoHinter; + + + /************************************************************************** + * + * @functype: + * FT_AutoHinter_GlobalGetFunc + * + * @description: + * Retrieve the global hints computed for a given face object.
