511    *   FT_ORIENTATION_TRUETYPE ::
512    *     According to the TrueType specification, clockwise contours must be
513    *     filled, and counter-clockwise ones must be unfilled.

516    *     According to the PostScript specification, counter-clockwise

519    *   FT_ORIENTATION_FILL_RIGHT ::
520    *     This is identical to @FT_ORIENTATION_TRUETYPE, but is used to
521    *     remember that in TrueType, everything that is to the right of the
522    *     drawing direction of a contour must be filled.
523    *
524    *   FT_ORIENTATION_FILL_LEFT ::
525    *     This is identical to @FT_ORIENTATION_POSTSCRIPT, but is used to
526    *     remember that in PostScript, everything that is to the left of the
527    *     drawing direction of a contour must be filled.
