<p>This section describes the most important public high-level API functions of FreeType&nbsp;2.</p>
<h2 id="ft_library">FT_Library<a class="headerlink" href="#ft_library" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h2>
<p>Defined in FT_FREETYPE_H (freetype/freetype.h).</p>
<div class = "codehilite"><pre><code>  <span class="keyword">typedef</span> <span class="keyword">struct</span> FT_LibraryRec_  *<b>FT_Library</b>;
</code></pre></div>

<p>A handle to a FreeType library instance. Each &lsquo;library&rsquo; is completely independent from the others; it is the &lsquo;root&rsquo; of a set of objects like fonts, faces, sizes, etc.</p>
<p>It also embeds a memory manager (see <code><a href="ft2-system_interface.html#ft_memory">FT_Memory</a></code>), as well as a scan-line converter object (see <code><a href="ft2-raster.html#ft_raster">FT_Raster</a></code>).</p>
<p>[Since 2.5.6] In multi-threaded applications it is easiest to use one <code>FT_Library</code> object per thread. In case this is too cumbersome, a single <code>FT_Library</code> object across threads is possible also, as long as a mutex lock is used around <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_new_face">FT_New_Face</a></code> and <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_done_face">FT_Done_Face</a></code>.</p>
<h4>note</h4>

<p>Library objects are normally created by <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_init_freetype">FT_Init_FreeType</a></code>, and destroyed with <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_done_freetype">FT_Done_FreeType</a></code>. If you need reference-counting (cf. <code><a href="ft2-module_management.html#ft_reference_library">FT_Reference_Library</a></code>), use <code><a href="ft2-module_management.html#ft_new_library">FT_New_Library</a></code> and <code><a href="ft2-module_management.html#ft_done_library">FT_Done_Library</a></code>.</p>

<h2 id="ft_face">FT_Face<a class="headerlink" href="#ft_face" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h2>
<p>Defined in FT_FREETYPE_H (freetype/freetype.h).</p>
<div class = "codehilite"><pre><code>  <span class="keyword">typedef</span> <span class="keyword">struct</span> FT_FaceRec_*  <b>FT_Face</b>;
</code></pre></div>

<p>A handle to a typographic face object. A face object models a given typeface, in a given style.</p>
<h4>note</h4>

<p>A face object also owns a single <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_glyphslot">FT_GlyphSlot</a></code> object, as well as one or more <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_size">FT_Size</a></code> objects.</p>
<p>Use <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_new_face">FT_New_Face</a></code> or <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_open_face">FT_Open_Face</a></code> to create a new face object from a given filepath or a custom input stream.</p>
<p>Use <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_done_face">FT_Done_Face</a></code> to destroy it (along with its slot and sizes).</p>
<p>An <code>FT_Face</code> object can only be safely used from one thread at a time. Similarly, creation and destruction of <code>FT_Face</code> with the same <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_library">FT_Library</a></code> object can only be done from one thread at a time. On the other hand, functions like <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_load_glyph">FT_Load_Glyph</a></code> and its siblings are thread-safe and do not need the lock to be held as long as the same <code>FT_Face</code> object is not used from multiple threads at the same time.</p>
<h4>also</h4>

<p>See <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_facerec">FT_FaceRec</a></code> for the publicly accessible fields of a given face object.</p>

<h2 id="ft_size">FT_Size<a class="headerlink" href="#ft_size" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h2>
<p>Defined in FT_FREETYPE_H (freetype/freetype.h).</p>
<div class = "codehilite"><pre><code>  <span class="keyword">typedef</span> <span class="keyword">struct</span> FT_SizeRec_*  <b>FT_Size</b>;
</code></pre></div>

<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-base_interface.html#ft_face">FT_Face</a></code> has one <em>active</em> <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_size">FT_Size</a></code> object that is used by functions like <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.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>You can use <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_set_char_size">FT_Set_Char_Size</a></code>, <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_set_pixel_sizes">FT_Set_Pixel_Sizes</a></code>, <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_request_size">FT_Request_Size</a></code> or even <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_select_size">FT_Select_Size</a></code> to change the content (i.e., the scaling values) of the active <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_size">FT_Size</a></code>.</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-base_interface.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>
<h4>also</h4>

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

<h2 id="ft_glyphslot">FT_GlyphSlot<a class="headerlink" href="#ft_glyphslot" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h2>
<p>Defined in FT_FREETYPE_H (freetype/freetype.h).</p>
<div class = "codehilite"><pre><code>  <span class="keyword">typedef</span> <span class="keyword">struct</span> FT_GlyphSlotRec_*  <b>FT_GlyphSlot</b>;
</code></pre></div>

<p>A handle to a given &lsquo;glyph slot&rsquo;. A slot is a container that can hold any of the glyphs contained in its parent face.</p>
<p>In other words, each time you call <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_load_glyph">FT_Load_Glyph</a></code> or <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_load_char">FT_Load_Char</a></code>, the slot's content is erased by the new glyph data, i.e., the glyph's metrics, its image (bitmap or outline), and other control information.</p>
<h4>also</h4>

<p>See <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_glyphslotrec">FT_GlyphSlotRec</a></code> for the publicly accessible glyph fields.</p>
<hr>

<h2 id="ft_charmap">FT_CharMap<a class="headerlink" href="#ft_charmap" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h2>
<p>Defined in FT_FREETYPE_H (freetype/freetype.h).</p>
<div class = "codehilite"><pre><code>  <span class="keyword">typedef</span> <span class="keyword">struct</span> FT_CharMapRec_*  <b>FT_CharMap</b>;
</code></pre></div>

<p>A handle to a character map (usually abbreviated to &lsquo;charmap&rsquo;). A charmap is used to translate character codes in a given encoding into glyph indexes for its parent's face. Some font formats may provide several charmaps per font.</p>
<p>Each face object owns zero or more charmaps, but only one of them can be &lsquo;active&rsquo;, providing the data used by <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_get_char_index">FT_Get_Char_Index</a></code> or <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_load_char">FT_Load_Char</a></code>.</p>
<p>The list of available charmaps in a face is available through the <code>face-&gt;num_charmaps</code> and <code>face-&gt;charmaps</code> fields of <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_facerec">FT_FaceRec</a></code>.</p>
<p>The currently active charmap is available as <code>face-&gt;charmap</code>. You should call <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_set_charmap">FT_Set_Charmap</a></code> to change it.</p>
<h4>note</h4>

<p>When a new face is created (either through <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_new_face">FT_New_Face</a></code> or <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_open_face">FT_Open_Face</a></code>), the library looks for a Unicode charmap within the list and automatically activates it. If there is no Unicode charmap, FreeType doesn't set an &lsquo;active&rsquo; charmap.</p>
<h4>also</h4>

<p>See <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_charmaprec">FT_CharMapRec</a></code> for the publicly accessible fields of a given character map.</p>

<h4>note</h4>

<p>When loading a font, FreeType makes a Unicode charmap active if possible (either if the font provides such a charmap, or if FreeType can synthesize one from PostScript glyph name dictionaries; in either case, the charmap is tagged with <code>FT_ENCODING_UNICODE</code>). If such a charmap is synthesized, it is placed at the first position of the charmap array.</p>
<p>All other encodings are considered legacy and tagged only if explicitly defined in the font file. Otherwise, <code>FT_ENCODING_NONE</code> is used.</p>
<p><code>FT_ENCODING_NONE</code> is set by the BDF and PCF drivers if the charmap is neither Unicode nor ISO-8859-1 (otherwise it is set to <code>FT_ENCODING_UNICODE</code>). Use <code><a href="ft2-bdf_fonts.html#ft_get_bdf_charset_id">FT_Get_BDF_Charset_ID</a></code> to find out which encoding is really present. If, for example, the <code>cs_registry</code> field is &lsquo;KOI8&rsquo; and the <code>cs_encoding</code> field is &lsquo;R&rsquo;, the font is encoded in KOI8-R.</p>
<p><code>FT_ENCODING_NONE</code> is always set (with a single exception) by the winfonts driver. Use <code><a href="ft2-winfnt_fonts.html#ft_get_winfnt_header">FT_Get_WinFNT_Header</a></code> and examine the <code>charset</code> field of the <code><a href="ft2-winfnt_fonts.html#ft_winfnt_headerrec">FT_WinFNT_HeaderRec</a></code> structure to find out which encoding is really present. For example, <code><a href="ft2-winfnt_fonts.html#ft_winfnt_id_xxx">FT_WinFNT_ID_CP1251</a></code> (204) means Windows code page 1251 (for Russian).</p>
<p><code>FT_ENCODING_NONE</code> is set if <code>platform_id</code> is <code><a href="ft2-truetype_tables.html#tt_platform_xxx">TT_PLATFORM_MACINTOSH</a></code> and <code>encoding_id</code> is not <code>TT_MAC_ID_ROMAN</code> (otherwise it is set to <code>FT_ENCODING_APPLE_ROMAN</code>).</p>
<p>If <code>platform_id</code> is <code><a href="ft2-truetype_tables.html#tt_platform_xxx">TT_PLATFORM_MACINTOSH</a></code>, use the function <code><a href="ft2-truetype_tables.html#ft_get_cmap_language_id">FT_Get_CMap_Language_ID</a></code> to query the Mac language ID that may be needed to be able to distinguish Apple encoding variants. See</p>
<p><a href="https://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/APPLE/Readme.txt">https://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/APPLE/Readme.txt</a></p>
<p>to get an idea how to do that. Basically, if the language ID is&nbsp;0, don't use it, otherwise subtract 1 from the language ID. Then examine <code>encoding_id</code>. If, for example, <code>encoding_id</code> is <code>TT_MAC_ID_ROMAN</code> and the language ID (minus&nbsp;1) is <code>TT_MAC_LANGID_GREEK</code>, it is the Greek encoding, not Roman. <code>TT_MAC_ID_ARABIC</code> with <code>TT_MAC_LANGID_FARSI</code> means the Farsi variant the Arabic encoding.</p>

<p>This macro converts four-letter tags into an unsigned long. It is used to define &lsquo;encoding&rsquo; identifiers (see <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_encoding">FT_Encoding</a></code>).</p>
<h4>note</h4>

<p>Since many 16-bit compilers don't like 32-bit enumerations, you should redefine this macro in case of problems to something like this:
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>  #define FT_ENC_TAG( value, a, b, c, d )  value
</code></pre></div></p>
<p>to get a simple enumeration without assigning special numbers.</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-base_interface.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-base_interface.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-&gt;ascender,
                               size_metrics-&gt;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-base_interface.html#ft_size">FT_Size</a></code> object but much later, namely while calling <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.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, &quot;TrueType&quot; ) &amp;&amp;
       do_native_bytecode_hinting         )
  {
    ascender  = ROUND( FT_MulFix( face-&gt;ascender,
                                  size_metrics-&gt;y_scale ) );
    descender = ROUND( FT_MulFix( face-&gt;descender,
                                  size_metrics-&gt;y_scale ) );
  }
  else
  {
    ascender  = size_metrics-&gt;ascender;
    descender = size_metrics-&gt;descender;
  }

  height      = size_metrics-&gt;height;

<h4>note</h4>

<p>If <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_load_glyph">FT_Load_Glyph</a></code> is called with default flags (see <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_load_xxx">FT_LOAD_DEFAULT</a></code>) the glyph image is loaded in the glyph slot in its native format (e.g., an outline glyph for TrueType and Type&nbsp;1 formats). [Since 2.9] The prospective bitmap metrics are calculated according to <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_load_target_xxx">FT_LOAD_TARGET_XXX</a></code> and other flags even for the outline glyph, even if <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_load_xxx">FT_LOAD_RENDER</a></code> is not set.</p>
<p>This image can later be converted into a bitmap by calling <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_render_glyph">FT_Render_Glyph</a></code>. This function searches the current renderer for the native image's format, then invokes it.</p>
<p>The renderer is in charge of transforming the native image through the slot's face transformation fields, then converting it into a bitmap that is returned in <code>slot-&gt;bitmap</code>.</p>
<p>Note that <code>slot-&gt;bitmap_left</code> and <code>slot-&gt;bitmap_top</code> are also used to specify the position of the bitmap relative to the current pen position (e.g., coordinates (0,0) on the baseline). Of course, <code>slot-&gt;format</code> is also changed to <code><a href="ft2-basic_types.html#ft_glyph_format">FT_GLYPH_FORMAT_BITMAP</a></code>.</p>
<p>Here is a small pseudo code fragment that shows how to use <code>lsb_delta</code> and <code>rsb_delta</code> to do fractional positioning of glyphs:
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>  FT_GlyphSlot  slot     = face-&gt;glyph;
  FT_Pos        origin_x = 0;


  for all glyphs do
    &lt;load glyph with `FT_Load_Glyph&#39;&gt;

    FT_Outline_Translate( slot-&gt;outline, origin_x &amp; 63, 0 );

    &lt;save glyph image, or render glyph, or ...&gt;

    &lt;compute kern between current and next glyph
     and add it to `origin_x&#39;&gt;

    origin_x += slot-&gt;advance.x;
    origin_x += slot-&gt;lsb_delta - slot-&gt;rsb_delta;
  endfor
</code></pre></div></p>
<p>Here is another small pseudo code fragment that shows how to use <code>lsb_delta</code> and <code>rsb_delta</code> to improve integer positioning of glyphs:
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>  FT_GlyphSlot  slot           = face-&gt;glyph;
  FT_Pos        origin_x       = 0;
  FT_Pos        prev_rsb_delta = 0;


  for all glyphs do
    &lt;compute kern between current and previous glyph
     and add it to `origin_x&#39;&gt;

    &lt;load glyph with `FT_Load_Glyph&#39;&gt;

    if ( prev_rsb_delta - slot-&gt;lsb_delta &gt;  32 )
      origin_x -= 64;
    else if ( prev_rsb_delta - slot-&gt;lsb_delta &lt; -31 )
      origin_x += 64;

    prev_rsb_delta = slot-&gt;rsb_delta;

    &lt;save glyph image, or render glyph, or ...&gt;

    origin_x += slot-&gt;advance.x;
  endfor
</code></pre></div></p>
<p>If you use strong auto-hinting, you <strong>must</strong> apply these delta values! Otherwise you will experience far too large inter-glyph spacing at small rendering sizes in most cases. Note that it doesn't harm to use the above code for other hinting modes also, since the delta values are zero then.</p>

<h4>note</h4>

<p>If not disabled with <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_load_xxx">FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING</a></code>, the values represent dimensions of the hinted glyph (in case hinting is applicable).</p>
<p>Stroking a glyph with an outside border does not increase <code>horiAdvance</code> or <code>vertAdvance</code>; you have to manually adjust these values to account for the added width and height.</p>
<p>FreeType doesn't use the &lsquo;VORG&rsquo; table data for CFF fonts because it doesn't have an interface to quickly retrieve the glyph height. The y&nbsp;coordinate of the vertical origin can be simply computed as <code>vertBearingY + height</code> after loading a glyph.</p>

<p>This field holds two different values. Bits 0-15 are the index of the face in the font file (starting with value&nbsp;0). Set it to&nbsp;0 if there is only one face in the font file.</p>
<p>[Since 2.6.1] Bits 16-30 are relevant to GX and OpenType variation fonts only, specifying the named instance index for the current face index (starting with value&nbsp;1; value&nbsp;0 makes FreeType ignore named instances). For non-variation fonts, bits 16-30 are ignored. Assuming that you want to access the third named instance in face&nbsp;4, <code>face_index</code> should be set to 0x00030004. If you want to access face&nbsp;4 without variation handling, simply set <code>face_index</code> to value&nbsp;4.</p>
<p><code>FT_Open_Face</code> and its siblings can be used to quickly check whether the font format of a given font resource is supported by FreeType. In general, if the <code>face_index</code> argument is negative, the function's return value is&nbsp;0 if the font format is recognized, or non-zero otherwise. The function allocates a more or less empty face handle in <code>*aface</code> (if <code>aface</code> isn't <code>NULL</code>); the only two useful fields in this special case are <code>face-&gt;num_faces</code> and <code>face-&gt;style_flags</code>. For any negative value of <code>face_index</code>, <code>face-&gt;num_faces</code> gives the number of faces within the font file. For the negative value &lsquo;-(N+1)&rsquo; (with &lsquo;N&rsquo; a non-negative 16-bit value), bits 16-30 in <code>face-&gt;style_flags</code> give the number of named instances in face &lsquo;N&rsquo; if we have a variation font (or zero otherwise). After examination, the returned <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_face">FT_Face</a></code> structure should be deallocated with a call to <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_done_face">FT_Done_Face</a></code>.</p>

<h4>return</h4>

<p>FreeType error code. 0&nbsp;means success.</p>
<h4>note</h4>

<p>Unlike FreeType 1.x, this function automatically creates a glyph slot for the face object that can be accessed directly through <code>face-&gt;glyph</code>.</p>
<p>Each new face object created with this function also owns a default <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_size">FT_Size</a></code> object, accessible as <code>face-&gt;size</code>.</p>
<p>One <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_library">FT_Library</a></code> instance can have multiple face objects, this is, <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_open_face">FT_Open_Face</a></code> and its siblings can be called multiple times using the same <code>library</code> argument.</p>
<p>See the discussion of reference counters in the description of <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_reference_face">FT_Reference_Face</a></code>.</p>
<p>If <code>FT_OPEN_STREAM</code> is set in <code>args-&gt;flags</code>, the stream in <code>args-&gt;stream</code> is automatically closed before this function returns any error (including <code>FT_Err_Invalid_Argument</code>).</p>
<h4>example</h4>

<p>To loop over all faces, use code similar to the following snippet (omitting the error handling).
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>  ...
  FT_Face  face;
  FT_Long  i, num_faces;


  error = FT_Open_Face( library, args, -1, &amp;face );
  if ( error ) { ... }

  num_faces = face-&gt;num_faces;
  FT_Done_Face( face );

  for ( i = 0; i &lt; num_faces; i++ )
  {
    ...
    error = FT_Open_Face( library, args, i, &amp;face );
    ...
    FT_Done_Face( face );
    ...
  }
</code></pre></div></p>
<p>To loop over all valid values for <code>face_index</code>, use something similar to the following snippet, again without error handling. The code accesses all faces immediately (thus only a single call of <code>FT_Open_Face</code> within the do-loop), with and without named instances.
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>  ...
  FT_Face  face;

  FT_Long  num_faces     = 0;
  FT_Long  num_instances = 0;

  FT_Long  face_idx     = 0;
  FT_Long  instance_idx = 0;


  do
  {
    FT_Long  id = ( instance_idx &lt;&lt; 16 ) + face_idx;


    error = FT_Open_Face( library, args, id, &amp;face );
    if ( error ) { ... }

    num_faces     = face-&gt;num_faces;
    num_instances = face-&gt;style_flags &gt;&gt; 16;

    ...

    FT_Done_Face( face );

    if ( instance_idx &lt; num_instances )
      instance_idx++;
    else

<h4>note</h4>

<p>The stream type is determined by the contents of <code>flags</code>:</p>
<p>If the <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_open_xxx">FT_OPEN_MEMORY</a></code> bit is set, assume that this is a memory file of <code>memory_size</code> bytes, located at <code>memory_address</code>. The data are not copied, and the client is responsible for releasing and destroying them <em>after</em> the corresponding call to <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_done_face">FT_Done_Face</a></code>.</p>
<p>Otherwise, if the <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_open_xxx">FT_OPEN_STREAM</a></code> bit is set, assume that a custom input stream <code>stream</code> is used.</p>
<p>Otherwise, if the <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_open_xxx">FT_OPEN_PATHNAME</a></code> bit is set, assume that this is a normal file and use <code>pathname</code> to open it.</p>
<p>If none of the above bits are set or if multiple are set at the same time, the flags are invalid and <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_open_face">FT_Open_Face</a></code> fails.</p>
<p>If the <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_open_xxx">FT_OPEN_DRIVER</a></code> bit is set, <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_open_face">FT_Open_Face</a></code> only tries to open the file with the driver whose handler is in <code>driver</code>.</p>
<p>If the <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_open_xxx">FT_OPEN_PARAMS</a></code> bit is set, the parameters given by <code>num_params</code> and <code>params</code> is used. They are ignored otherwise.</p>
<p>Ideally, both the <code>pathname</code> and <code>params</code> fields should be tagged as &lsquo;const&rsquo;; this is missing for API backward compatibility. In other words, applications should treat them as read-only.</p>

<p>Although drivers may select the bitmap strike matching the request, you should not rely on this if you intend to select a particular bitmap strike. Use <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_select_size">FT_Select_Size</a></code> instead in that case.</p>
<p>The relation between the requested size and the resulting glyph size is dependent entirely on how the size is defined in the source face. The font designer chooses the final size of each glyph relative to this size. For more information refer to &lsquo;<a href="https://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/glyphs/glyphs-2.html">https://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/glyphs/glyphs-2.html</a>&rsquo;.</p>

<p>For bitmaps embedded in outline fonts it is common that only a subset of the available glyphs at a given ppem value is available. FreeType silently uses outlines if there is no bitmap for a given glyph index.</p>
<p>For GX and OpenType variation fonts, a bitmap strike makes sense only if the default instance is active (this is, no glyph variation takes place); otherwise, FreeType simply ignores bitmap strikes. The same is true for all named instances that are different from the default instance.</p>

<p>This function is provided as a convenience, but keep in mind that <code><a href="ft2-basic_types.html#ft_matrix">FT_Matrix</a></code> coefficients are only 16.16 fixed-point values, which can limit the accuracy of the results. Using floating-point computations to perform the transform directly in client code instead will always yield better numbers.</p>
<p>The transformation is only applied to scalable image formats after the glyph has been loaded.

<p>FreeType error code. 0&nbsp;means success.</p>
<h4>note</h4>

<p>To get meaningful results, font scaling values must be set with functions like <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_set_char_size">FT_Set_Char_Size</a></code> before calling <code>FT_Render_Glyph</code>.</p>
<p>When FreeType outputs a bitmap of a glyph, it really outputs an alpha coverage map. If a pixel is completely covered by a filled-in outline, the bitmap contains 0xFF at that pixel, meaning that 0xFF/0xFF fraction of that pixel is covered, meaning the pixel is 100% black (or 0% bright). If a pixel is only 50% covered (value 0x80), the pixel is made 50% black (50% bright or a middle shade of grey). 0% covered means 0% black (100% bright or white).</p>
<p>On high-DPI screens like on smartphones and tablets, the pixels are so small that their chance of being completely covered and therefore completely black are fairly good. On the low-DPI screens, however, the situation is different. The pixels are too large for most of the details of a glyph and shades of gray are the norm rather than the exception.</p>
<p>This is relevant because all our screens have a second problem: they are not linear. 1&nbsp;+&nbsp;1 is not&nbsp;2. Twice the value does not result in twice the brightness. When a pixel is only 50% covered, the coverage map says 50% black, and this translates to a pixel value of 128 when you use 8&nbsp;bits per channel (0-255). However, this does not translate to 50% brightness for that pixel on our sRGB and gamma&nbsp;2.2 screens. Due to their non-linearity, they dwell longer in the darks and only a pixel value of about 186 results in 50% brightness &ndash; 128 ends up too dark on both bright and dark backgrounds. The net result is that dark text looks burnt-out, pixely and blotchy on bright background, bright text too frail on dark backgrounds, and colored text on colored background (for example, red on green) seems to have dark halos or &lsquo;dirt&rsquo; around it. The situation is especially ugly for diagonal stems like in &lsquo;w&rsquo; glyph shapes where the quality of FreeType's anti-aliasing depends on the correct display of grays. On high-DPI screens where smaller, fully black pixels reign supreme, this doesn't matter, but on our low-DPI screens with all the gray shades, it does. 0% and 100% brightness are the same things in linear and non-linear space, just all the shades in-between aren't.</p>
<p>The blending function for placing text over a background is
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>  dst = alpha * src + (1 - alpha) * dst    ,
</code></pre></div></p>
<p>which is known as the OVER operator.</p>
<p>To correctly composite an anti-aliased pixel of a glyph onto a surface,</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>take the foreground and background colors (e.g., in sRGB space) and apply gamma to get them in a linear space,</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>use OVER to blend the two linear colors using the glyph pixel as the alpha value (remember, the glyph bitmap is an alpha coverage bitmap), and</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>apply inverse gamma to the blended pixel and write it back to the image.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Internal testing at Adobe found that a target inverse gamma of&nbsp;1.8 for step&nbsp;3 gives good results across a wide range of displays with an sRGB gamma curve or a similar one.</p>
<p>This process can cost performance. There is an approximation that does not need to know about the background color; see <a href="https://bel.fi/alankila/lcd/">https://bel.fi/alankila/lcd/</a> and <a href="https://bel.fi/alankila/lcd/alpcor.html">https://bel.fi/alankila/lcd/alpcor.html</a> for details.</p>
<p><strong>ATTENTION</strong>: Linear blending is even more important when dealing with subpixel-rendered glyphs to prevent color-fringing! A subpixel-rendered glyph must first be filtered with a filter that gives equal weight to the three color primaries and does not exceed a sum of 0x100, see section &lsquo;<a href="ft2-lcd_rendering.html#lcd_rendering">Subpixel Rendering</a>&rsquo;. Then the only difference to gray linear blending is that subpixel-rendered linear blending is done 3&nbsp;times per pixel: red foreground subpixel to red background subpixel and so on for green and blue.</p>

<p>The <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_render_mode">FT_RENDER_MODE_SDF</a></code> is a special render mode that uses up to 256 distance values, indicating the signed distance from the grid position to the nearest outline.</p>

<p>The selected render mode only affects vector glyphs of a font.

<p>For <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_render_mode">FT_RENDER_MODE_SDF</a></code> the output bitmap buffer contains normalized distances that are packed into unsigned 8-bit values. To get pixel values in floating point representation use the following pseudo-C code for the conversion.
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>// Load glyph and render using FT_RENDER_MODE_SDF,

  // the default spread is 2 and can be changed.

  float  sd = (float)pixel - 128.0f;


  // Convert to pixel values.
  sd = ( sd / 128.0f ) * spread;

  // Store `sd` in a buffer or use as required.

<p>For variation fonts, this string changes if you select a different instance, and you have to call <code>FT_Get_PostScript_Name</code> again to retrieve it. FreeType follows Adobe TechNote #5902, &lsquo;Generating PostScript Names for Fonts Using OpenType Font Variations&rsquo;.</p>

<p>[Since 2.9] Special PostScript names for named instances are only returned if the named instance is set with <code><a href="ft2-multiple_masters.html#ft_set_named_instance">FT_Set_Named_Instance</a></code> (and the font has corresponding entries in its &lsquo;fvar&rsquo; table). If <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_is_variation">FT_IS_VARIATION</a></code> returns true, the algorithmically derived PostScript name is provided, not looking up special entries for named instances.</p>

<p>Note that CID-keyed fonts that are in an SFNT wrapper (this is, all OpenType/CFF fonts) don't have this flag set since the glyphs are accessed in the normal way (using contiguous indices); the &lsquo;CID-ness&rsquo; isn't visible to the application.</p>

<p>The face is &lsquo;tricky&rsquo;, this is, it always needs the font format's native hinting engine to get a reasonable result. A typical example is the old Chinese font <code>mingli.ttf</code> (but not <code>mingliu.ttc</code>) that uses TrueType bytecode instructions to move and scale all of its subglyphs.</p>
<p>It is not possible to auto-hint such fonts using <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_load_xxx">FT_LOAD_FORCE_AUTOHINT</a></code>; it will also ignore <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_load_xxx">FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING</a></code>.

<h4>note</h4>

<p>By default, hinting is enabled and the font's native hinter (see <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_face_flag_xxx">FT_FACE_FLAG_HINTER</a></code>) is preferred over the auto-hinter. You can disable hinting by setting <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_load_xxx">FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING</a></code> or change the precedence by setting <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_load_xxx">FT_LOAD_FORCE_AUTOHINT</a></code>. You can also set <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_load_xxx">FT_LOAD_NO_AUTOHINT</a></code> in case you don't want the auto-hinter to be used at all.</p>
<p>See the description of <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_face_flag_xxx">FT_FACE_FLAG_TRICKY</a></code> for a special exception (affecting only a handful of Asian fonts).</p>
<p>Besides deciding which hinter to use, you can also decide which hinting algorithm to use. See <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_load_target_xxx">FT_LOAD_TARGET_XXX</a></code> for details.</p>
<p>Note that the auto-hinter needs a valid Unicode cmap (either a native one or synthesized by FreeType) for producing correct results. If a font provides an incorrect mapping (for example, assigning the character code U+005A, LATIN CAPITAL LETTER&nbsp;Z, to a glyph depicting a mathematical integral sign), the auto-hinter might produce useless results.</p>

<p>A lighter hinting algorithm for gray-level modes. Many generated glyphs are fuzzier but better resemble their original shape. This is achieved by snapping glyphs to the pixel grid only vertically (Y-axis), as is done by FreeType's new CFF engine or Microsoft's ClearType font renderer. This preserves inter-glyph spacing in horizontal text. The snapping is done either by the native font driver, if the driver itself and the font support it, or by the auto-hinter.</p>
<p>Advance widths are rounded to integer values; however, using the <code>lsb_delta</code> and <code>rsb_delta</code> fields of <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_glyphslotrec">FT_GlyphSlotRec</a></code>, it is possible to get fractional advance widths for subpixel positioning (which is recommended to use).</p>

<h4>note</h4>

<p>You should use only <em>one</em> of the <code>FT_LOAD_TARGET_XXX</code> values in your <code>load_flags</code>. They can't be ORed.</p>
<p>If <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_load_xxx">FT_LOAD_RENDER</a></code> is also set, the glyph is rendered in the corresponding mode (i.e., the mode that matches the used algorithm best). An exception is <code>FT_LOAD_TARGET_MONO</code> since it implies <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_load_xxx">FT_LOAD_MONOCHROME</a></code>.</p>
<p>You can use a hinting algorithm that doesn't correspond to the same rendering mode. As an example, it is possible to use the &lsquo;light&rsquo; hinting algorithm and have the results rendered in horizontal LCD pixel mode, with code like
<div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><code>  FT_Load_Glyph( face, glyph_index,
                 load_flags | FT_LOAD_TARGET_LIGHT );

  FT_Render_Glyph( face-&gt;glyph, FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD );

<p>In general, you should stick with one rendering mode. For example, switching between <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_load_target_xxx">FT_LOAD_TARGET_NORMAL</a></code> and <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_load_target_xxx">FT_LOAD_TARGET_MONO</a></code> enforces a lot of recomputation for TrueType fonts, which is slow. Another reason is caching: Selecting a different mode usually causes changes in both the outlines and the rasterized bitmaps; it is thus necessary to empty the cache after a mode switch to avoid false hits.</p>

<p>A list of bit flags used in the <code>fsType</code> field of the OS/2 table in a TrueType or OpenType font and the <code>FSType</code> entry in a PostScript font. These bit flags are returned by <code><a href="ft2-base_interface.html#ft_get_fstype_flags">FT_Get_FSType_Flags</a></code>; they inform client applications of embedding and subsetting restrictions associated with a font.</p>

<h4>note</h4>

<p>The flags are ORed together, thus more than a single value can be returned.</p>
<p>While the <code>fsType</code> flags can indicate that a font may be embedded, a license with the font vendor may be separately required to use the font in this way.</p>
