/**************************************************************************
|
|
*
|
|
* A small technical note regarding automatic hinting in order to clarify
|
|
* this module interface.
|
|
*
|
|
* An automatic hinter might compute two kinds of data for a given face:
|
|
*
|
|
* - global hints: Usually some metrics that describe global properties
|
|
* of the face. 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.
