50    *   Size Management
51    *
52    * @abstract:
53    *   Managing multiple sizes per face.
54    *
55    * @description:
56    *   When creating a new face object (e.g., with @FT_New_Face), an @FT_Size
57    *   object is automatically created and used to store all pixel-size
58    *   dependent information, available in the `face->size` field.
59    *
60    *   It is however possible to create more sizes for a given face, mostly
61    *   in order to manage several character pixel sizes of the same font
62    *   family and style.  See @FT_New_Size and @FT_Done_Size.
63    *
64    *   Note that @FT_Set_Pixel_Sizes and @FT_Set_Char_Size only modify the
65    *   contents of the current 'active' size; you thus need to use
66    *   @FT_Activate_Size to change it.
67    *
68    *   99% of applications won't need the functions provided here, especially
69    *   if they use the caching sub-system, so be cautious when using these.
