FT_FACE_FLAGS
=============
A list of bit flags used in the 'face_flags' field of the FT_FaceRec
structure. They inform client applications of properties of the corresponding
face.
.. data:: FT_FACE_FLAG_SCALABLE
Indicates that the face contains outline glyphs. This doesn't prevent bitmap
strikes, i.e., a face can have both this and and FT_FACE_FLAG_FIXED_SIZES
set.
.. data:: FT_FACE_FLAG_FIXED_SIZES
Indicates that the face contains bitmap strikes. See also the
'num_fixed_sizes' and 'available_sizes' fields of FT_FaceRec.
.. data:: FT_FACE_FLAG_FIXED_WIDTH
Indicates that the face contains fixed-width characters (like Courier,
Lucido, MonoType, etc.).
.. data:: FT_FACE_FLAG_SFNT
Indicates that the face uses the 'sfnt' storage scheme. For now, this means
TrueType and OpenType.
.. data:: FT_FACE_FLAG_HORIZONTAL
Indicates that the face contains horizontal glyph metrics. This should be set
for all common formats.
.. data:: FT_FACE_FLAG_VERTICAL
Indicates that the face contains vertical glyph metrics. This is only
available in some formats, not all of them.
.. data:: FT_FACE_FLAG_KERNING
Indicates that the face contains kerning information. If set, the kerning
distance can be retrieved through the function FT_Get_Kerning. Otherwise the
function always return the vector (0,0). Note that FreeType doesn't handle
kerning data from the 'GPOS' table (as present in some OpenType fonts).
.. data:: FT_FACE_FLAG_MULTIPLE_MASTERS
Indicates that the font contains multiple masters and is capable of
interpolating between them. See the multiple-masters specific API for
details.
.. data:: FT_FACE_FLAG_GLYPH_NAMES
Indicates that the font contains glyph names that can be retrieved through
FT_Get_Glyph_Name. Note that some TrueType fonts contain broken glyph name
tables. Use the function FT_Has_PS_Glyph_Names when needed.
.. data:: FT_FACE_FLAG_EXTERNAL_STREAM
Used internally by FreeType to indicate that a face's stream was provided by
the client application and should not be destroyed when FT_Done_Face is
called. Don't read or test this flag.
.. data:: FT_FACE_FLAG_HINTER
Set if the font driver has a hinting machine of its own. For example, with
TrueType fonts, it makes sense to use data from the SFNT 'gasp' table only if
the native TrueType hinting engine (with the bytecode interpreter) is
available and active.
.. data:: FT_FACE_FLAG_CID_KEYED
Set if the font is CID-keyed. In that case, the font is not accessed by glyph
indices but by CID values. For subsetted CID-keyed fonts this has the
consequence that not all index values are a valid argument to
FT_Load_Glyph. Only the CID values for which corresponding glyphs in the
subsetted font exist make FT_Load_Glyph return successfully; in all other
cases you get an 'FT_Err_Invalid_Argument' error.
Note that CID-keyed fonts which are in an SFNT wrapper don't have this flag
set since the glyphs are accessed in the normal way (using contiguous
indices); the 'CID-ness' isn't visible to the application.
.. data:: FT_FACE_FLAG_TRICKY
Set if the font is 'tricky', this is, it always needs the font format's
native hinting engine to get a reasonable result. A typical example is the
Chinese font 'mingli.ttf' which uses TrueType bytecode instructions to move
and scale all of its subglyphs.
It is not possible to autohint such fonts using FT_LOAD_FORCE_AUTOHINT; it
will also ignore FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING. You have to set both FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING
and FT_LOAD_NO_AUTOHINT to really disable hinting; however, you probably
never want this except for demonstration purposes.
Currently, there are six TrueType fonts in the list of tricky fonts; they are
hard-coded in file 'ttobjs.c'.
