427    *
428    *   If the font is tricky and the glyph has been loaded with
429    *   @FT_LOAD_NO_SCALE, the resulting CBox is meaningless.  To get

432    *   and scale the subglyphs), then extracting the CBox, which can be
433    *   eventually converted back to font units.
434    *

436    *   can compute the width and height of the glyph image (be it in integer

444    *   Note also that for 26.6 coordinates, if `bbox_mode` is set to
445    *   @FT_GLYPH_BBOX_GRIDFIT, the coordinates will also be grid-fitted,
446    *   which corresponds to:
447    *
448    *   ```
449    *     bbox.xMin = FLOOR(bbox.xMin);

491    *
492    * @return:
493    *   FreeType error code.  0~means success.
494    *
495    * @note:
496    *   This function does nothing if the glyph format isn't scalable.

500    *
501    *   The first parameter is a pointer to an @FT_Glyph handle, that will be
502    *   _replaced_ by this function (with newly allocated data).  Typically,
503    *   you would use (omitting error handling):
504    *
505    *   ```
506    *     FT_Glyph        glyph;
507    *     FT_BitmapGlyph  glyph_bitmap;
508    *
509    *
510    *     // load glyph
511    *     error = FT_Load_Char( face, glyph_index, FT_LOAD_DEFAULT );
512    *
513    *     // extract glyph image
514    *     error = FT_Get_Glyph( face->glyph, &glyph );
515    *
516    *     // convert to a bitmap (default render mode + destroying old)
517    *     if ( glyph->format != FT_GLYPH_FORMAT_BITMAP )
518    *     {
519    *       error = FT_Glyph_To_Bitmap( &glyph, FT_RENDER_MODE_NORMAL,
520    *                                     0, 1 );
521    *       if ( error ) // `glyph' unchanged
522    *         ...
523    *     }
524    *
525    *     // access bitmap content by typecasting
526    *     glyph_bitmap = (FT_BitmapGlyph)glyph;
527    *
528    *     // do funny stuff with it, like blitting/drawing
529    *     ...
530    *
531    *     // discard glyph image (bitmap or not)
532    *     FT_Done_Glyph( glyph );
533    *   ```
534    *
535    *   Here is another example, again without error handling:
536    *
537    *   ```
538    *     FT_Glyph  glyphs[MAX_GLYPHS]
539    *
540    *
541    *     ...
542    *
543    *     for ( idx = 0; i < MAX_GLYPHS; i++ )
544    *       error = FT_Load_Glyph( face, idx, FT_LOAD_DEFAULT ) ||
545    *               FT_Get_Glyph ( face->glyph, &glyphs[idx] );
546    *
547    *     ...
548    *
549    *     for ( idx = 0; i < MAX_GLYPHS; i++ )
550    *     {
551    *       FT_Glyph  bitmap = glyphs[idx];
552    *
553    *
554    *       ...
555    *
556    *       // after this call, `bitmap' no longer points into
557    *       // the `glyphs' array (and the old value isn't destroyed)
558    *       FT_Glyph_To_Bitmap( &bitmap, FT_RENDER_MODE_MONO, 0, 0 );
559    *
560    *       ...
