+FT_GLYPH_FORMATS
+================
+
+An enumeration type used to describe the format of a given glyph image. Note
+that this version of FreeType only supports two image formats, even though
+future font drivers will be able to register their own format.
+
+.. data:: FT_GLYPH_FORMAT_NONE
+
+ The value 0 is reserved.
+
+.. data:: FT_GLYPH_FORMAT_COMPOSITE
+
+ The glyph image is a composite of several other images. This format is only
+ used with FT_LOAD_NO_RECURSE, and is used to report compound glyphs (like
+ accented characters).
+
+.. data:: FT_GLYPH_FORMAT_BITMAP
+
+ The glyph image is a bitmap, and can be described as an FT_Bitmap. You
+ generally need to access the 'bitmap' field of the FT_GlyphSlotRec structure
+ to read it.
+
+.. data:: FT_GLYPH_FORMAT_OUTLINE
+
+ The glyph image is a vectorial outline made of line segments and Bezier arcs;
+ it can be described as an FT_Outline; you generally want to access the
+ 'outline' field of the FT_GlyphSlotRec structure to read it.
+
+.. data:: FT_GLYPH_FORMAT_PLOTTER
+
+ The glyph image is a vectorial path with no inside and outside contours. Some
+ Type 1 fonts, like those in the Hershey family, contain glyphs in this
+ format. These are described as FT_Outline, but FreeType isn't currently
+ capable of rendering them correctly.
