<pre>
<span class="keyword">typedef</span> <span class="keyword">struct</span> FT_LibraryRec_ *<b>FT_Library</b>;
</pre>
<p>A handle to a FreeType library instance. Each &lsquo;library&rsquo; is completely independent from the others; it is the &lsquo;root&rsquo; of a set of objects like fonts, faces, sizes, etc.</p>
<p>It also embeds a memory manager (see <a href="ft2-system_interface.html#FT_Memory">FT_Memory</a>), as well as a scan-line converter object (see <a href="ft2-raster.html#FT_Raster">FT_Raster</a>).</p>
<p>In multi-threaded applications it is easiest to use one &lsquo;FT_Library&rsquo; object per thread. In case this is too cumbersome, a single &lsquo;FT_Library&rsquo; object across threads is possible also (since FreeType version 2.5.6), as long as a mutex lock is used around <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_New_Face">FT_New_Face</a> and <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Done_Face">FT_Done_Face</a>.</p>
<h4>note</h4>
<p>Library objects are normally created by <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Init_FreeType">FT_Init_FreeType</a>, and destroyed with <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Done_FreeType">FT_Done_FreeType</a>. If you need reference-counting (cf. <a href="ft2-module_management.html#FT_Reference_Library">FT_Reference_Library</a>), use <a href="ft2-module_management.html#FT_New_Library">FT_New_Library</a> and <a href="ft2-module_management.html#FT_Done_Library">FT_Done_Library</a>.</p>

<pre>
<span class="keyword">typedef</span> <span class="keyword">struct</span> FT_FaceRec_* <b>FT_Face</b>;
</pre>
<p>A handle to a given typographic face object. A face object models a given typeface, in a given style.</p>
<h4>note</h4>
<p>Each face object also owns a single <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_GlyphSlot">FT_GlyphSlot</a> object, as well as one or more <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Size">FT_Size</a> objects.</p>
<p>Use <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_New_Face">FT_New_Face</a> or <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Open_Face">FT_Open_Face</a> to create a new face object from a given filepathname or a custom input stream.</p>
<p>Use <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Done_Face">FT_Done_Face</a> to destroy it (along with its slot and sizes).</p>
<p>An &lsquo;FT_Face&rsquo; object can only be safely used from one thread at a time. Similarly, creation and destruction of &lsquo;FT_Face&rsquo; with the same <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Library">FT_Library</a> object can only be done from one thread at a time. On the other hand, functions like <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Load_Glyph">FT_Load_Glyph</a> and its siblings are thread-safe and do not need the lock to be held as long as the same &lsquo;FT_Face&rsquo; object is not used from multiple threads at the same time.</p>

<pre>
<span class="keyword">typedef</span> <span class="keyword">struct</span> FT_SizeRec_* <b>FT_Size</b>;
</pre>
<p>A handle to an object used to model a face scaled to a given character size.</p>
<h4>note</h4>
<p>Each <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Face">FT_Face</a> has an <i>active</i> <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Size">FT_Size</a> object that is used by functions like <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Load_Glyph">FT_Load_Glyph</a> to determine the scaling transformation that in turn is used to load and hint glyphs and metrics.</p>
<p>You can use <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Set_Char_Size">FT_Set_Char_Size</a>, <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Set_Pixel_Sizes">FT_Set_Pixel_Sizes</a>, <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Request_Size">FT_Request_Size</a> or even <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Select_Size">FT_Select_Size</a> to change the content (i.e., the scaling values) of the active <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Size">FT_Size</a>.</p>
<p>You can use <a href="ft2-sizes_management.html#FT_New_Size">FT_New_Size</a> to create additional size objects for a given <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Face">FT_Face</a>, but they won't be used by other functions until you activate it through <a href="ft2-sizes_management.html#FT_Activate_Size">FT_Activate_Size</a>. Only one size can be activated at any given time per face.</p>

<pre>
<span class="keyword">typedef</span> <span class="keyword">struct</span> FT_GlyphSlotRec_* <b>FT_GlyphSlot</b>;
</pre>
<p>A handle to a given &lsquo;glyph slot&rsquo;. A slot is a container where it is possible to load any of the glyphs contained in its parent face.</p>
<p>In other words, each time you call <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Load_Glyph">FT_Load_Glyph</a> or <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Load_Char">FT_Load_Char</a>, the slot's content is erased by the new glyph data, i.e., the glyph's metrics, its image (bitmap or outline), and other control information.</p>

<pre>
<span class="keyword">typedef</span> <span class="keyword">struct</span> FT_CharMapRec_* <b>FT_CharMap</b>;
</pre>
<p>A handle to a given character map. A charmap is used to translate character codes in a given encoding into glyph indexes for its parent's face. Some font formats may provide several charmaps per font.</p>
<p>Each face object owns zero or more charmaps, but only one of them can be &lsquo;active&rsquo; and used by <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Get_Char_Index">FT_Get_Char_Index</a> or <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Load_Char">FT_Load_Char</a>.</p>
<p>The list of available charmaps in a face is available through the &lsquo;face-&gt;num_charmaps&rsquo; and &lsquo;face-&gt;charmaps&rsquo; fields of <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_FaceRec">FT_FaceRec</a>.</p>
<p>The currently active charmap is available as &lsquo;face-&gt;charmap&rsquo;. You should call <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Set_Charmap">FT_Set_Charmap</a> to change it.</p>
<h4>note</h4>
<p>When a new face is created (either through <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_New_Face">FT_New_Face</a> or <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Open_Face">FT_Open_Face</a>), the library looks for a Unicode charmap within the list and automatically activates it.</p>

<h4>note</h4>
<p>By default, FreeType automatically synthesizes a Unicode charmap for PostScript fonts, using their glyph names dictionaries. However, it also reports the encodings defined explicitly in the font file, for the cases when they are needed, with the Adobe values as well.</p>
<p>FT_ENCODING_NONE is set by the BDF and PCF drivers if the charmap is neither Unicode nor ISO-8859-1 (otherwise it is set to FT_ENCODING_UNICODE). Use <a href="ft2-bdf_fonts.html#FT_Get_BDF_Charset_ID">FT_Get_BDF_Charset_ID</a> to find out which encoding is really present. If, for example, the &lsquo;cs_registry&rsquo; field is &lsquo;KOI8&rsquo; and the &lsquo;cs_encoding&rsquo; field is &lsquo;R&rsquo;, the font is encoded in KOI8-R.</p>
<p>FT_ENCODING_NONE is always set (with a single exception) by the winfonts driver. Use <a href="ft2-winfnt_fonts.html#FT_Get_WinFNT_Header">FT_Get_WinFNT_Header</a> and examine the &lsquo;charset&rsquo; field of the <a href="ft2-winfnt_fonts.html#FT_WinFNT_HeaderRec">FT_WinFNT_HeaderRec</a> structure to find out which encoding is really present. For example, <a href="ft2-winfnt_fonts.html#FT_WinFNT_ID_XXX">FT_WinFNT_ID_CP1251</a> (204) means Windows code page 1251 (for Russian).</p>
<p>FT_ENCODING_NONE is set if &lsquo;platform_id&rsquo; is <a href="ft2-truetype_tables.html#TT_PLATFORM_XXX">TT_PLATFORM_MACINTOSH</a> and &lsquo;encoding_id&rsquo; is not <a href="ft2-truetype_tables.html#TT_MAC_ID_XXX">TT_MAC_ID_ROMAN</a> (otherwise it is set to FT_ENCODING_APPLE_ROMAN).</p>
<p>If &lsquo;platform_id&rsquo; is <a href="ft2-truetype_tables.html#TT_PLATFORM_XXX">TT_PLATFORM_MACINTOSH</a>, use the function <a href="ft2-truetype_tables.html#FT_Get_CMap_Language_ID">FT_Get_CMap_Language_ID</a> to query the Mac language ID that may be needed to be able to distinguish Apple encoding variants. See</p>
<p><a href="http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/APPLE/Readme.txt">http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/APPLE/Readme.txt</a></p>
<p>to get an idea how to do that. Basically, if the language ID is&nbsp;0, don't use it, otherwise subtract 1 from the language ID. Then examine &lsquo;encoding_id&rsquo;. If, for example, &lsquo;encoding_id&rsquo; is <a href="ft2-truetype_tables.html#TT_MAC_ID_XXX">TT_MAC_ID_ROMAN</a> and the language ID (minus&nbsp;1) is &lsquo;TT_MAC_LANGID_GREEK&rsquo;, it is the Greek encoding, not Roman. <a href="ft2-truetype_tables.html#TT_MAC_ID_XXX">TT_MAC_ID_ARABIC</a> with &lsquo;TT_MAC_LANGID_FARSI&rsquo; means the Farsi variant the Arabic encoding.</p>

<h4>note</h4>
<p>The scaling values, if relevant, are determined first during a size changing operation. The remaining fields are then set by the driver. For scalable formats, they are usually set to scaled values of the corresponding fields in <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_FaceRec">FT_FaceRec</a>.</p>
<p>Note that due to glyph hinting, these values might not be exact for certain fonts. Thus they must be treated as unreliable with an error margin of at least one pixel!</p>
<p>Indeed, the only way to get the exact metrics is to render <i>all</i> glyphs. As this would be a definite performance hit, it is up to client applications to perform such computations.</p>
<p>The FT_Size_Metrics structure is valid for bitmap fonts also.</p>

<p>Note that &lsquo;slot-&gt;bitmap_left&rsquo; and &lsquo;slot-&gt;bitmap_top&rsquo; are also used to specify the position of the bitmap relative to the current pen position (e.g., coordinates (0,0) on the baseline). Of course, &lsquo;slot-&gt;format&rsquo; is also changed to <a href="ft2-basic_types.html#FT_Glyph_Format">FT_GLYPH_FORMAT_BITMAP</a>.</p>
<h4>note</h4>
<p>Here is a small pseudo code fragment that shows how to use &lsquo;lsb_delta&rsquo; and &lsquo;rsb_delta&rsquo;:</p>
<pre class="colored">
FT_Pos origin_x = 0;
FT_Pos prev_rsb_delta = 0;
for all glyphs do
&lt;compute kern between current and previous glyph and add it to
`origin_x'&gt;
&lt;load glyph with `FT_Load_Glyph'&gt;
if ( prev_rsb_delta - face-&gt;glyph-&gt;lsb_delta &gt;= 32 )
origin_x -= 64;
else if ( prev_rsb_delta - face-&gt;glyph-&gt;lsb_delta &lt; -32 )
origin_x += 64;
prev_rsb_delta = face-&gt;glyph-&gt;rsb_delta;
&lt;save glyph image, or render glyph, or ...&gt;
origin_x += face-&gt;glyph-&gt;advance.x;
endfor

<h4>note</h4>
<p>The stream type is determined by the contents of &lsquo;flags&rsquo; that are tested in the following order by <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Open_Face">FT_Open_Face</a>:</p>
<p>If the <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_OPEN_XXX">FT_OPEN_MEMORY</a> bit is set, assume that this is a memory file of &lsquo;memory_size&rsquo; bytes, located at &lsquo;memory_address&rsquo;. The data are are not copied, and the client is responsible for releasing and destroying them <i>after</i> the corresponding call to <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Done_Face">FT_Done_Face</a>.</p>
<p>Otherwise, if the <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_OPEN_XXX">FT_OPEN_STREAM</a> bit is set, assume that a custom input stream &lsquo;stream&rsquo; is used.</p>
<p>Otherwise, if the <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_OPEN_XXX">FT_OPEN_PATHNAME</a> bit is set, assume that this is a normal file and use &lsquo;pathname&rsquo; to open it.</p>
<p>If the <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_OPEN_XXX">FT_OPEN_DRIVER</a> bit is set, <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Open_Face">FT_Open_Face</a> only tries to open the file with the driver whose handler is in &lsquo;driver&rsquo;.</p>
<p>If the <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_OPEN_XXX">FT_OPEN_PARAMS</a> bit is set, the parameters given by &lsquo;num_params&rsquo; and &lsquo;params&rsquo; is used. They are ignored otherwise.</p>
<p>Ideally, both the &lsquo;pathname&rsquo; and &lsquo;params&rsquo; fields should be tagged as &lsquo;const&rsquo;; this is missing for API backwards compatibility. In other words, applications should treat them as read-only.</p>

<p>Be aware that character codes can have values up to 0xFFFFFFFF; this might happen for non-Unicode or malformed cmaps.

<p>Convert a given glyph image to a bitmap. It does so by inspecting the glyph image format, finding the relevant renderer, and invoking it.</p>
<p>When FreeType outputs a bitmap of a glyph, it really outputs an alpha coverage map. If a pixel is completely covered by a filled-in outline, the bitmap contains 0xFF at that pixel, meaning that 0xFF/0xFF fraction of that pixel is covered, meaning the pixel is 100% black (or 0% bright). If a pixel is only 50% covered (value 0x80), the pixel is made 50% black (50% bright or a middle shade of grey). 0% covered means 0% black (100% bright or white).</p>
<p>On high-DPI screens like on smartphones and tablets, the pixels are so small that their chance of being completely covered and therefore completely black are fairly good. On the low-DPI screens, however, the situation is different. The pixels are too large for most of the details of a glyph and shades of gray are the norm rather than the exception.</p>
<p>This is relevant because all our screens have a second problem: they are not linear. 1&nbsp;+&nbsp;1 is not&nbsp;2. Twice the value does not result in twice the brightness. When a pixel is only 50% covered, the coverage map says 50% black, and this translates to a pixel value of 128 when you use 8&nbsp;bits per channel (0-255). However, this does not translate to 50% brightness for that pixel on our sRGB and gamma&nbsp;2.2 screens. Due to their non-linearity, they dwell longer in the darks and only a pixel value of about 186 results in 50% brightness – 128 ends up too dark on both bright and dark backgrounds. The net result is that dark text looks burnt-out, pixely and blotchy on bright background, bright text too frail on dark backgrounds, and colored text on colored background (for example, red on green) seems to have dark halos or &lsquo;dirt&rsquo; around it. The situation is especially ugly for diagonal stems like in &lsquo;w&rsquo; glyph shapes where the quality of FreeType's anti-aliasing depends on the correct display of grays. On high-DPI screens where smaller, fully black pixels reign supreme, this doesn't matter, but on our low-DPI screens with all the gray shades, it does. 0% and 100% brightness are the same things in linear and non-linear space, just all the shades in-between aren't.</p>
<p>The blending function for placing text over a background is</p>
<pre class="colored">
dst = alpha * src + (1 - alpha) * dst ,
</pre>
<p>which is known as the OVER operator.</p>
<p>To correctly composite an antialiased pixel of a glyph onto a surface,</p>
<p>1. take the foreground and background colors (e.g., in sRGB space) and apply gamma to get them in a linear space,</p>
<p>2. use OVER to blend the two linear colors using the glyph pixel as the alpha value (remember, the glyph bitmap is an alpha coverage bitmap), and</p>
<p>3. apply inverse gamma to the blended pixel and write it back to the image.</p>
<p>Internal testing at Adobe found that a target inverse gamma of&nbsp;1.8 for step&nbsp;3 gives good results across a wide range of displays with an sRGB gamma curve or a similar one.</p>
<p>This process can cost performance. There is an approximation that does not need to know about the background color; see <a href="https://bel.fi/alankila/lcd/">https://bel.fi/alankila/lcd/</a> and <a href="https://bel.fi/alankila/lcd/alpcor.html">https://bel.fi/alankila/lcd/alpcor.html</a> for details.</p>
<p><b>ATTENTION</b>: Linear blending is even more important when dealing with subpixel-rendered glyphs to prevent color-fringing! A subpixel-rendered glyph must first be filtered with a filter that gives equal weight to the three color primaries and does not exceed a sum of 0x100, see section &lsquo;<a href="ft2-lcd_filtering.html#lcd_filtering">LCD Filtering</a>&rsquo;. Then the only difference to gray linear blending is that subpixel-rendered linear blending is done 3&nbsp;times per pixel: red foreground subpixel to red background subpixel and so on for green and blue.</p>

<p>2. If no embedded bitmap is searched or found, FreeType looks for a scalable outline. If one is found, it is loaded from the font file, scaled to device pixels, then &lsquo;hinted&rsquo; to the pixel grid in order to optimize it. The outline data can be accessed from the glyph slot (see note below).</p>
<p>Note that by default, the glyph loader doesn't render outlines into bitmaps. The following flags are used to modify this default behaviour to more specific and useful cases.</p>

<h4>note</h4>
<p>By default, hinting is enabled and the font's native hinter (see <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_FACE_FLAG_XXX">FT_FACE_FLAG_HINTER</a>) is preferred over the auto-hinter. You can disable hinting by setting <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_LOAD_XXX">FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING</a> or change the precedence by setting <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_LOAD_XXX">FT_LOAD_FORCE_AUTOHINT</a>. You can also set <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_LOAD_XXX">FT_LOAD_NO_AUTOHINT</a> in case you don't want the auto-hinter to be used at all.</p>
<p>See the description of <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_FACE_FLAG_XXX">FT_FACE_FLAG_TRICKY</a> for a special exception (affecting only a handful of Asian fonts).</p>
<p>Besides deciding which hinter to use, you can also decide which hinting algorithm to use. See <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_LOAD_TARGET_XXX">FT_LOAD_TARGET_XXX</a> for details.</p>
<p>Note that the auto-hinter needs a valid Unicode cmap (either a native one or synthesized by FreeType) for producing correct results. If a font provides an incorrect mapping (for example, assigning the character code U+005A, LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Z, to a glyph depicting a mathematical integral sign), the auto-hinter might produce useless results.</p>

<p>A list of bit flags used in the &lsquo;fsType&rsquo; field of the OS/2 table in a TrueType or OpenType font and the &lsquo;FSType&rsquo; entry in a PostScript font. These bit flags are returned by <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Get_FSType_Flags">FT_Get_FSType_Flags</a>; they inform client applications of embedding and subsetting restrictions associated with a font.</p>
<p>See <a href="http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/FontPolicies.pdf">http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/FontPolicies.pdf</a> for more details.</p>

<h4>note</h4>
<p>The flags are ORed together, thus more than a single value can be returned.</p>
<p>While the fsType flags can indicate that a font may be embedded, a license with the font vendor may be separately required to use the font in this way.</p>
