73    *   Controlling the CFF driver module.
74    *
75    * @description:
76    *   While FreeType's CFF driver doesn't expose API functions by itself, it
77    *   is possible to control its behaviour with @FT_Property_Set and
78    *   @FT_Property_Get.
79    *
80    *   The CFF driver's module name is 'cff'.
81    *
82    *   Available properties are @hinting-engine, @no-stem-darkening,
83    *   @darkening-parameters, and @random-seed, as documented in the
84    *   @properties section.
85    *
86    *
87    *   **Hinting and anti-aliasing principles of the new engine**
88    *
89    *   The rasterizer is positioning horizontal features (e.g., ascender
90    *   height & x-height, or crossbars) on the pixel grid and minimizing the
91    *   amount of anti-aliasing applied to them, while placing vertical
92    *   features (vertical stems) on the pixel grid without hinting, thus
93    *   representing the stem position and weight accurately.  Sometimes the
94    *   vertical stems may be only partially black.  In this context,
95    *   'anti-aliasing' means that stems are not positioned exactly on pixel
96    *   borders, causing a fuzzy appearance.
97    *
98    *   There are two principles behind this approach.
99    *
100    *   1) No hinting in the horizontal direction: Unlike 'superhinted'
101    *   TrueType, which changes glyph widths to accommodate regular
102    *   inter-glyph spacing, Adobe's approach is 'faithful to the design' in
103    *   representing both the glyph width and the inter-glyph spacing designed
104    *   for the font.  This makes the screen display as close as it can be to
105    *   the result one would get with infinite resolution, while preserving
106    *   what is considered the key characteristics of each glyph.  Note that
107    *   the distances between unhinted and grid-fitted positions at small
108    *   sizes are comparable to kerning values and thus would be noticeable
109    *   (and distracting) while reading if hinting were applied.
110    *
111    *   One of the reasons to not hint horizontally is anti-aliasing for LCD
112    *   screens: The pixel geometry of modern displays supplies three vertical
113    *   subpixels as the eye moves horizontally across each visible pixel.  On
114    *   devices where we can be certain this characteristic is present a
115    *   rasterizer can take advantage of the subpixels to add increments of
116    *   weight.  In Western writing systems this turns out to be the more
117    *   critical direction anyway; the weights and spacing of vertical stems
118    *   (see above) are central to Armenian, Cyrillic, Greek, and Latin type
119    *   designs.  Even when the rasterizer uses greyscale anti-aliasing instead
120    *   of color (a necessary compromise when one doesn't know the screen
121    *   characteristics), the unhinted vertical features preserve the design's
122    *   weight and spacing much better than aliased type would.
123    *
124    *   2) Alignment in the vertical direction: Weights and spacing along the
125    *   y~axis are less critical; what is much more important is the visual
126    *   alignment of related features (like cap-height and x-height).  The
127    *   sense of alignment for these is enhanced by the sharpness of grid-fit
128    *   edges, while the cruder vertical resolution (full pixels instead of
129    *   1/3 pixels) is less of a problem.
130    *
131    *   On the technical side, horizontal alignment zones for ascender,
132    *   x-height, and other important height values (traditionally called
133    *   'blue zones') as defined in the font are positioned independently,
134    *   each being rounded to the nearest pixel edge, taking care of overshoot
135    *   suppression at small sizes, stem darkening, and scaling.
136    *
137    *   Hstems (this is, hint values defined in the font to help align
138    *   horizontal features) that fall within a blue zone are said to be
139    *   'captured' and are aligned to that zone.  Uncaptured stems are moved
140    *   in one of four ways, top edge up or down, bottom edge up or down.
141    *   Unless there are conflicting hstems, the smallest movement is taken to
142    *   minimize distortion.

217    *

219    *
220    *   A single property @interpreter-version is available, as documented in
221    *   the @properties section.
222    *
223    *   We start with a list of definitions, kindly provided by Greg
224    *   Hitchcock.
225    *
226    *   _Bi-Level Rendering_
227    *
228    *   Monochromatic rendering, exclusively used in the early days of
229    *   TrueType by both Apple and Microsoft.  Microsoft's GDI interface
230    *   supported hinting of the right-side bearing point, such that the
231    *   advance width could be non-linear.  Most often this was done to
232    *   achieve some level of glyph symmetry.  To enable reasonable
233    *   performance (e.g., not having to run hinting on all glyphs just to get
234    *   the widths) there was a bit in the head table indicating if the side
235    *   bearing was hinted, and additional tables, 'hdmx' and 'LTSH', to cache
236    *   hinting widths across multiple sizes and device aspect ratios.
237    *
238    *   _Font Smoothing_
239    *
240    *   Microsoft's GDI implementation of anti-aliasing.  Not traditional
241    *   anti-aliasing as the outlines were hinted before the sampling.  The
242    *   widths matched the bi-level rendering.
243    *
244    *   _ClearType Rendering_
245    *
246    *   Technique that uses physical subpixels to improve rendering on LCD
247    *   (and other) displays.  Because of the higher resolution, many methods
248    *   of improving symmetry in glyphs through hinting the right-side bearing
249    *   were no longer necessary.  This lead to what GDI calls 'natural
250    *   widths' ClearType, see
251    *   http://rastertragedy.com/RTRCh4.htm#Sec21.  Since hinting
252    *   has extra resolution, most non-linearity went away, but it is still
253    *   possible for hints to change the advance widths in this mode.
254    *
255    *   _ClearType Compatible Widths_
256    *
257    *   One of the earliest challenges with ClearType was allowing the
258    *   implementation in GDI to be selected without requiring all UI and
259    *   documents to reflow.  To address this, a compatible method of
260    *   rendering ClearType was added where the font hints are executed once
261    *   to determine the width in bi-level rendering, and then re-run in
262    *   ClearType, with the difference in widths being absorbed in the font
263    *   hints for ClearType (mostly in the white space of hints); see
264    *   http://rastertragedy.com/RTRCh4.htm#Sec20.  Somewhat by
265    *   definition, compatible width ClearType allows for non-linear widths,
266    *   but only when the bi-level version has non-linear widths.
267    *
268    *   _ClearType Subpixel Positioning_
269    *
270    *   One of the nice benefits of ClearType is the ability to more crisply
271    *   display fractional widths; unfortunately, the GDI model of integer
272    *   bitmaps did not support this.  However, the WPF and Direct Write
273    *   frameworks do support fractional widths.  DWrite calls this 'natural
274    *   mode', not to be confused with GDI's 'natural widths'.  Subpixel
275    *   positioning, in the current implementation of Direct Write,
276    *   unfortunately does not support hinted advance widths, see
277    *   http://rastertragedy.com/RTRCh4.htm#Sec22.  Note that the
278    *   TrueType interpreter fully allows the advance width to be adjusted in
279    *   this mode, just the DWrite client will ignore those changes.
280    *
281    *   _ClearType Backward Compatibility_
282    *
283    *   This is a set of exceptions made in the TrueType interpreter to
284    *   minimize hinting techniques that were problematic with the extra
285    *   resolution of ClearType; see
286    *   http://rastertragedy.com/RTRCh4.htm#Sec1 and
287    *   https://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/truetypecleartype.aspx.
288    *   This technique is not to be confused with ClearType compatible widths.
289    *   ClearType backward compatibility has no direct impact on changing
290    *   advance widths, but there might be an indirect impact on disabling
291    *   some deltas.  This could be worked around in backward compatibility
292    *   mode.
293    *
294    *   _Native ClearType Mode_
295    *
296    *   (Not to be confused with 'natural widths'.)  This mode removes all the
297    *   exceptions in the TrueType interpreter when running with ClearType.
298    *   Any issues on widths would still apply, though.

403    *   All glyphs that pass through the auto-hinter will be emboldened unless

405    *   and CID font modules if the 'Adobe' engine is selected (which is the
406    *   default).
407    *
408    *   Stem darkening emboldens glyphs at smaller sizes to make them more
409    *   readable on common low-DPI screens when using linear alpha blending
410    *   and gamma correction, see @FT_Render_Glyph.  When not using linear
411    *   alpha blending and gamma correction, glyphs will appear heavy and
412    *   fuzzy!
413    *
414    *   Gamma correction essentially lightens fonts since shades of grey are
415    *   shifted to higher pixel values (=~higher brightness) to match the
416    *   original intention to the reality of our screens.  The side-effect is
417    *   that glyphs 'thin out'.  Mac OS~X and Adobe's proprietary font
418    *   rendering library implement a counter-measure: stem darkening at
419    *   smaller sizes where shades of gray dominate.  By emboldening a glyph
420    *   slightly in relation to its pixel size, individual pixels get higher
421    *   coverage of filled-in outlines and are therefore 'blacker'.  This
422    *   counteracts the 'thinning out' of glyphs, making text remain readable
423    *   at smaller sizes.
424    *
425    *   For the auto-hinter, stem-darkening is experimental currently and thus
426    *   switched off by default (this is, `no-stem-darkening` is set to TRUE
427    *   by default).  Total consistency with the CFF driver is not achieved
428    *   right now because the emboldening method differs and glyphs must be
429    *   scaled down on the Y-axis to keep outline points inside their
430    *   precomputed blue zones.  The smaller the size (especially 9ppem and
431    *   down), the higher the loss of emboldening versus the CFF driver.
432    *
433    *   Note that stem darkening is never applied if @FT_LOAD_NO_SCALE is set.

471    *   By default, the Adobe hinting engine, as used by the CFF, Type~1, and
472    *   CID font drivers, darkens stems as follows (if the `no-stem-darkening`
473    *   property isn't set):
474    *
475    *   ```
476    *     stem width <= 0.5px:   darkening amount = 0.4px
477    *     stem width  = 1px:     darkening amount = 0.275px
478    *     stem width  = 1.667px: darkening amount = 0.275px
479    *     stem width >= 2.333px: darkening amount = 0px
480    *   ```
481    *
482    *   and piecewise linear in-between.  At configuration time, these four
483    *   control points can be set with the macro
484    *   `CFF_CONFIG_OPTION_DARKENING_PARAMETERS`; the CFF, Type~1, and CID
485    *   drivers share these values.  At runtime, the control points can be
486    *   changed using the `darkening-parameters` property (see the example
487    *   below that demonstrates this for the Type~1 driver).
488    *
489    *   The x~values give the stem width, and the y~values the darkening
490    *   amount.  The unit is 1000th of pixels.  All coordinate values must be
491    *   positive; the x~values must be monotonically increasing; the y~values
492    *   must be monotonically decreasing and smaller than or equal to 500
493    *   (corresponding to half a pixel); the slope of each linear piece must
494    *   be shallower than -1 (e.g., -.4).
495    *

707    *   Color and Gray ClearType are the two available variants of
708    *   'Y-direction ClearType', meaning grayscale rasterization along the
709    *   Y-direction; the name used in the TrueType specification for this
710    *   feature is 'symmetric smoothing'.  'Classic ClearType' is the original
711    *   algorithm used before introducing a modified version in Win~XP.
712    *   Another name for v1.6's grayscale rendering is 'font smoothing', and
713    *   'Color ClearType' is sometimes also called 'DWrite ClearType'.  To
714    *   differentiate between today's Color ClearType and the earlier
715    *   ClearType variant with B/W rendering along the vertical axis, the
716    *   latter is sometimes called 'GDI ClearType'.
717    *
718    *   'Normal' and 'high' sampling describe the (virtual) resolution to
719    *   access the rasterized outline after the hinting process.  'Normal'
720    *   means 1 sample per grid line (i.e., B/W).  In the current Microsoft
721    *   implementation, 'high' means an extra virtual resolution of 16x16 (or
722    *   16x1) grid lines per pixel for bytecode instructions like 'MIRP'.
723    *   After hinting, these 16 grid lines are mapped to 6x5 (or 6x1) grid
724    *   lines for color filtering if Color ClearType is activated.
725    *
726    *   Note that 'Gray ClearType' is essentially the same as v1.6's grayscale
727    *   rendering.  However, the GETINFO instruction handles it differently:
728    *   v1.6 returns bit~12 (hinting for grayscale), while v2.1 returns
729    *   bits~13 (hinting for ClearType), 18 (symmetrical smoothing), and~19
730    *   (Gray ClearType).  Also, this mode respects bits 2 and~3 for the
731    *   version~1 gasp table exclusively (like Color ClearType), while v1.6
732    *   only respects the values of version~0 (bits 0 and~1).
733    *
734    *   Keep in mind that the features of the above interpreter versions might
735    *   not map exactly to FreeType features or behavior because it is a
736    *   fundamentally different library with different internals.

748    *
749    * @description:
750    *   Currently, three versions are available, two representing the bytecode
751    *   interpreter with subpixel hinting support (old 'Infinality' code and
752    *   new stripped-down and higher performance 'minimal' code) and one
753    *   without, respectively.  The default is subpixel support if
754    *   `TT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_HINTING` is defined, and no subpixel
755    *   support otherwise (since it isn't available then).
756    *
757    *   If subpixel hinting is on, many TrueType bytecode instructions behave
758    *   differently compared to B/W or grayscale rendering (except if 'native
759    *   ClearType' is selected by the font).  Microsoft's main idea is to
760    *   render at a much increased horizontal resolution, then sampling down
761    *   the created output to subpixel precision.  However, many older fonts
762    *   are not suited to this and must be specially taken care of by applying
763    *   (hardcoded) tweaks in Microsoft's interpreter.
764    *
765    *   Details on subpixel hinting and some of the necessary tweaks can be
766    *   found in Greg Hitchcock's whitepaper at
767    *   'https://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/truetypecleartype.aspx'.
768    *   Note that FreeType currently doesn't really 'subpixel hint' (6x1, 6x2,
769    *   or 6x5 supersampling) like discussed in the paper.  Depending on the
770    *   chosen interpreter, it simply ignores instructions on vertical stems
771    *   to arrive at very similar results.

810    *   Examples of supported scripts are Latin or CJK.  Before a glyph is
811    *   auto-hinted, the Unicode character map of the font gets examined, and
812    *   the script is then determined based on Unicode character ranges, see
813    *   below.
814    *
815    *   OpenType fonts, however, often provide much more glyphs than character
816    *   codes (small caps, superscripts, ligatures, swashes, etc.), to be
817    *   controlled by so-called 'features'.  Handling OpenType features can be
818    *   quite complicated and thus needs a separate library on top of
819    *   FreeType.
820    *
821    *   The mapping between glyph indices and scripts (in the auto-hinter
822    *   sense, see the @FT_AUTOHINTER_SCRIPT_XXX values) is stored as an array
823    *   with `num_glyphs` elements, as found in the font's @FT_Face structure.
824    *   The `glyph-to-script-map` property returns a pointer to this array,
825    *   which can be modified as needed.  Note that the modification should
826    *   happen before the first glyph gets processed by the auto-hinter so
827    *   that the global analysis of the font shapes actually uses the modified
828    *   mapping.
829    *
830    * @example:
831    *   The following example code demonstrates how to access it (omitting the
832    *   error handling).
833    *
834    *   ```
835    *     FT_Library                library;
836    *     FT_Face                   face;
837    *     FT_Prop_GlyphToScriptMap  prop;

840    *     FT_Init_FreeType( &library );
841    *     FT_New_Face( library, "foo.ttf", 0, &face );

843    *     prop.face = face;
844    *
845    *     FT_Property_Get( library, "autofitter",
846    *                               "glyph-to-script-map", &prop );
847    *
848    *     // adjust `prop.map' as needed right here
849    *
850    *     FT_Load_Glyph( face, ..., FT_LOAD_FORCE_AUTOHINT );
