<p>A handle to an object that models a face scaled to a given character size.</p>
<h4>note</h4>
<p>An <code><a href="ft2-face_creation.html#ft_face">FT_Face</a></code> has one <em>active</em> <code>FT_Size</code> object that is used by functions like <code><a href="ft2-glyph_retrieval.html#ft_load_glyph">FT_Load_Glyph</a></code> to determine the scaling transformation that in turn is used to load and hint glyphs and metrics.</p>
<p>A newly created <code>FT_Size</code> object contains only meaningless zero values. You must use <code><a href="ft2-sizing_and_scaling.html#ft_set_char_size">FT_Set_Char_Size</a></code>, <code><a href="ft2-sizing_and_scaling.html#ft_set_pixel_sizes">FT_Set_Pixel_Sizes</a></code>, <code><a href="ft2-sizing_and_scaling.html#ft_request_size">FT_Request_Size</a></code> or even <code><a href="ft2-sizing_and_scaling.html#ft_select_size">FT_Select_Size</a></code> to change the content (i.e., the scaling values) of the active <code>FT_Size</code>. Otherwise, the scaling and hinting will not be performed.</p>
<p>You can use <code><a href="ft2-sizes_management.html#ft_new_size">FT_New_Size</a></code> to create additional size objects for a given <code><a href="ft2-face_creation.html#ft_face">FT_Face</a></code>, but they won't be used by other functions until you activate it through <code><a href="ft2-sizes_management.html#ft_activate_size">FT_Activate_Size</a></code>. Only one size can be activated at any given time per face.</p>

<p>See <code><a href="ft2-sizing_and_scaling.html#ft_sizerec">FT_SizeRec</a></code> for the publicly accessible fields of a given size object.</p>

<h4>note</h4>
<p>The scaling values, if relevant, are determined first during a size changing operation. The remaining fields are then set by the driver. For scalable formats, they are usually set to scaled values of the corresponding fields in <code><a href="ft2-face_creation.html#ft_facerec">FT_FaceRec</a></code>. Some values like ascender or descender are rounded for historical reasons; more precise values (for outline fonts) can be derived by scaling the corresponding <code><a href="ft2-face_creation.html#ft_facerec">FT_FaceRec</a></code> values manually, with code similar to the following.
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code> scaled_ascender = FT_MulFix( face->ascender,
size_metrics->y_scale );
</code></pre></div></p>
<p>Note that due to glyph hinting and the selected rendering mode these values are usually not exact; consequently, they must be treated as unreliable with an error margin of at least one pixel!</p>
<p>Indeed, the only way to get the exact metrics is to render <em>all</em> glyphs. As this would be a definite performance hit, it is up to client applications to perform such computations.</p>
<p>The <code>FT_Size_Metrics</code> structure is valid for bitmap fonts also.</p>
<p><strong>TrueType fonts with native bytecode hinting</strong></p>
<p>All applications that handle TrueType fonts with native hinting must be aware that TTFs expect different rounding of vertical font dimensions. The application has to cater for this, especially if it wants to rely on a TTF's vertical data (for example, to properly align box characters vertically).</p>
<p>Only the application knows <em>in advance</em> that it is going to use native hinting for TTFs! FreeType, on the other hand, selects the hinting mode not at the time of creating an <code><a href="ft2-sizing_and_scaling.html#ft_size">FT_Size</a></code> object but much later, namely while calling <code><a href="ft2-glyph_retrieval.html#ft_load_glyph">FT_Load_Glyph</a></code>.</p>
<p>Here is some pseudo code that illustrates a possible solution.
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code> font_format = FT_Get_Font_Format( face );
if ( !strcmp( font_format, "TrueType" ) &&
do_native_bytecode_hinting )
{
ascender = ROUND( FT_MulFix( face->ascender,
size_metrics->y_scale ) );
descender = ROUND( FT_MulFix( face->descender,
size_metrics->y_scale ) );
}
else
{
ascender = size_metrics->ascender;
descender = size_metrics->descender;
}
height = size_metrics->height;
max_advance = size_metrics->max_advance;
</code></pre></div></p>
