 <p>When creating a new face object (e.g., with <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_New_Face">FT_New_Face</a>), an <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Size">FT_Size</a> object is automatically created and used to store all pixel-size dependent information, available in the &lsquo;face-&gt;size&rsquo; field.</p>
 <p>It is however possible to create more sizes for a given face, mostly in order to manage several character pixel sizes of the same font family and style. See <a href="ft2-sizes_management.html#FT_New_Size">FT_New_Size</a> and <a href="ft2-sizes_management.html#FT_Done_Size">FT_Done_Size</a>.</p>
