   * @abstract:
   *   Controlling the CFF driver module.
   *
   * @description:
   *   While FreeType's CFF driver doesn't expose API functions by itself, it
   *   is possible to control its behaviour with @FT_Property_Set and
   *   @FT_Property_Get.
   *
   *   The CFF driver's module name is 'cff'.
   *
   *   Available properties are @hinting-engine, @no-stem-darkening,
   *   @darkening-parameters, and @random-seed, as documented in the
   *   @properties section.
   *
   *
   *   **Hinting and antialiasing principles of the new engine**
   *
   *   The rasterizer is positioning horizontal features (e.g., ascender
   *   height & x-height, or crossbars) on the pixel grid and minimizing the
   *   amount of antialiasing applied to them, while placing vertical
   *   features (vertical stems) on the pixel grid without hinting, thus
   *   representing the stem position and weight accurately.  Sometimes the
   *   vertical stems may be only partially black.  In this context,
   *   'antialiasing' means that stems are not positioned exactly on pixel
   *   borders, causing a fuzzy appearance.
   *
   *   There are two principles behind this approach.
   *
   *   1) No hinting in the horizontal direction: Unlike 'superhinted'
   *   TrueType, which changes glyph widths to accommodate regular
   *   inter-glyph spacing, Adobe's approach is 'faithful to the design' in
   *   representing both the glyph width and the inter-glyph spacing designed
   *   for the font.  This makes the screen display as close as it can be to
   *   the result one would get with infinite resolution, while preserving
   *   what is considered the key characteristics of each glyph.  Note that
   *   the distances between unhinted and grid-fitted positions at small
   *   sizes are comparable to kerning values and thus would be noticeable
   *   (and distracting) while reading if hinting were applied.
   *
   *   One of the reasons to not hint horizontally is antialiasing for LCD
   *   screens: The pixel geometry of modern displays supplies three vertical
   *   subpixels as the eye moves horizontally across each visible pixel.  On
   *   devices where we can be certain this characteristic is present a
   *   rasterizer can take advantage of the subpixels to add increments of
   *   weight.  In Western writing systems this turns out to be the more
   *   critical direction anyway; the weights and spacing of vertical stems
   *   (see above) are central to Armenian, Cyrillic, Greek, and Latin type
   *   designs.  Even when the rasterizer uses greyscale antialiasing instead
   *   of color (a necessary compromise when one doesn't know the screen
   *   characteristics), the unhinted vertical features preserve the design's
   *   weight and spacing much better than aliased type would.
   *
   *   2) Alignment in the vertical direction: Weights and spacing along the
   *   y~axis are less critical; what is much more important is the visual
   *   alignment of related features (like cap-height and x-height).  The
   *   sense of alignment for these is enhanced by the sharpness of grid-fit
   *   edges, while the cruder vertical resolution (full pixels instead of
   *   1/3 pixels) is less of a problem.
   *
   *   On the technical side, horizontal alignment zones for ascender,
   *   x-height, and other important height values (traditionally called
   *   'blue zones') as defined in the font are positioned independently,
   *   each being rounded to the nearest pixel edge, taking care of overshoot
   *   suppression at small sizes, stem darkening, and scaling.
   *
   *   Hstems (this is, hint values defined in the font to help align
   *   horizontal features) that fall within a blue zone are said to be
   *   'captured' and are aligned to that zone.  Uncaptured stems are moved
   *   in one of four ways, top edge up or down, bottom edge up or down.
   *   Unless there are conflicting hstems, the smallest movement is taken to
   *   minimize distortion.

   *   The TrueType driver

   * @abstract:
   *   Controlling the TrueType driver module.
   *
   * @description:
   *   While FreeType's TrueType driver doesn't expose API functions by
   *   itself, it is possible to control its behaviour with @FT_Property_Set
   *   and @FT_Property_Get.  The following lists the available properties
   *   together with the necessary macros and structures.
   *
   *   The TrueType driver's module name is 'truetype'.
   *
   *   A single property @interpreter-version is available, as documented in
   *   the @properties section.
   *
   *   We start with a list of definitions, kindly provided by Greg
   *   Hitchcock.
   *
   *   _Bi-Level Rendering_
   *
   *   Monochromatic rendering, exclusively used in the early days of
   *   TrueType by both Apple and Microsoft.  Microsoft's GDI interface
   *   supported hinting of the right-side bearing point, such that the
   *   advance width could be non-linear.  Most often this was done to
   *   achieve some level of glyph symmetry.  To enable reasonable
   *   performance (e.g., not having to run hinting on all glyphs just to get
   *   the widths) there was a bit in the head table indicating if the side
   *   bearing was hinted, and additional tables, 'hdmx' and 'LTSH', to cache
   *   hinting widths across multiple sizes and device aspect ratios.
   *
   *   _Font Smoothing_
   *
   *   Microsoft's GDI implementation of anti-aliasing.  Not traditional
   *   anti-aliasing as the outlines were hinted before the sampling.  The
   *   widths matched the bi-level rendering.
   *
   *   _ClearType Rendering_
   *
   *   Technique that uses physical subpixels to improve rendering on LCD
   *   (and other) displays.  Because of the higher resolution, many methods
   *   of improving symmetry in glyphs through hinting the right-side bearing
   *   were no longer necessary.  This lead to what GDI calls 'natural
   *   widths' ClearType, see
   *   http://rastertragedy.com/RTRCh4.htm#Sec21.  Since hinting
   *   has extra resolution, most non-linearity went away, but it is still
   *   possible for hints to change the advance widths in this mode.
   *
   *   _ClearType Compatible Widths_
   *
   *   One of the earliest challenges with ClearType was allowing the
   *   implementation in GDI to be selected without requiring all UI and
   *   documents to reflow.  To address this, a compatible method of
   *   rendering ClearType was added where the font hints are executed once
   *   to determine the width in bi-level rendering, and then re-run in
   *   ClearType, with the difference in widths being absorbed in the font
   *   hints for ClearType (mostly in the white space of hints); see
   *   http://rastertragedy.com/RTRCh4.htm#Sec20.  Somewhat by
   *   definition, compatible width ClearType allows for non-linear widths,
   *   but only when the bi-level version has non-linear widths.
   *
   *   _ClearType Subpixel Positioning_
   *
   *   One of the nice benefits of ClearType is the ability to more crisply
   *   display fractional widths; unfortunately, the GDI model of integer
   *   bitmaps did not support this.  However, the WPF and Direct Write
   *   frameworks do support fractional widths.  DWrite calls this 'natural
   *   mode', not to be confused with GDI's 'natural widths'.  Subpixel
   *   positioning, in the current implementation of Direct Write,
   *   unfortunately does not support hinted advance widths, see
   *   http://rastertragedy.com/RTRCh4.htm#Sec22.  Note that the
   *   TrueType interpreter fully allows the advance width to be adjusted in
   *   this mode, just the DWrite client will ignore those changes.
   *
   *   _ClearType Backward Compatibility_
   *
   *   This is a set of exceptions made in the TrueType interpreter to
   *   minimize hinting techniques that were problematic with the extra
   *   resolution of ClearType; see
   *   http://rastertragedy.com/RTRCh4.htm#Sec1 and
   *   https://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/truetypecleartype.aspx.
   *   This technique is not to be confused with ClearType compatible widths.
   *   ClearType backward compatibility has no direct impact on changing
   *   advance widths, but there might be an indirect impact on disabling
   *   some deltas.  This could be worked around in backward compatibility
   *   mode.
   *
   *   _Native ClearType Mode_
   *
   *   (Not to be confused with 'natural widths'.)  This mode removes all the
   *   exceptions in the TrueType interpreter when running with ClearType.
   *   Any issues on widths would still apply, though.

   *   no-stem-darkening
   *
   * @description:
   *   All glyphs that pass through the auto-hinter will be emboldened unless
   *   this property is set to TRUE.  The same is true for the CFF, Type~1,
   *   and CID font modules if the 'Adobe' engine is selected (which is the
   *   default).
   *
   *   Stem darkening emboldens glyphs at smaller sizes to make them more
   *   readable on common low-DPI screens when using linear alpha blending
   *   and gamma correction, see @FT_Render_Glyph.  When not using linear
   *   alpha blending and gamma correction, glyphs will appear heavy and
   *   fuzzy!
   *
   *   Gamma correction essentially lightens fonts since shades of grey are
   *   shifted to higher pixel values (=~higher brightness) to match the
   *   original intention to the reality of our screens.  The side-effect is
   *   that glyphs 'thin out'.  Mac OS~X and Adobe's proprietary font
   *   rendering library implement a counter-measure: stem darkening at
   *   smaller sizes where shades of gray dominate.  By emboldening a glyph
   *   slightly in relation to its pixel size, individual pixels get higher
   *   coverage of filled-in outlines and are therefore 'blacker'.  This
   *   counteracts the 'thinning out' of glyphs, making text remain readable
   *   at smaller sizes.
   *
   *   For the auto-hinter, stem-darkening is experimental currently and thus
   *   switched off by default (this is, `no-stem-darkening` is set to TRUE
   *   by default).  Total consistency with the CFF driver is not achieved
   *   right now because the emboldening method differs and glyphs must be
   *   scaled down on the Y-axis to keep outline points inside their
   *   precomputed blue zones.  The smaller the size (especially 9ppem and
   *   down), the higher the loss of emboldening versus the CFF driver.
   *
   *   Note that stem darkening is never applied if @FT_LOAD_NO_SCALE is set.

   *   This property can be used with @FT_Property_Get also.

   *
   * @description:
   *   A list of constants used for the @interpreter-version property to
   *   select the hinting engine for Truetype fonts.
   *
   *   The numeric value in the constant names represents the version number
   *   as returned by the 'GETINFO' bytecode instruction.
   *
   * @values:
   *   TT_INTERPRETER_VERSION_35 ::
   *     Version~35 corresponds to MS rasterizer v.1.7 as used e.g. in
   *     Windows~98; only grayscale and B/W rasterizing is supported.
   *
   *   TT_INTERPRETER_VERSION_38 ::
   *     Version~38 corresponds to MS rasterizer v.1.9; it is roughly
   *     equivalent to the hinting provided by DirectWrite ClearType (as can
   *     be found, for example, in the Internet Explorer~9 running on
   *     Windows~7).  It is used in FreeType to select the 'Infinality'
   *     subpixel hinting code.  The code may be removed in a future version.
   *
   *   TT_INTERPRETER_VERSION_40 ::
   *     Version~40 corresponds to MS rasterizer v.2.1; it is roughly
   *     equivalent to the hinting provided by DirectWrite ClearType (as can
   *     be found, for example, in Microsoft's Edge Browser on Windows~10).
   *     It is used in FreeType to select the 'minimal' subpixel hinting
   *     code, a stripped-down and higher performance version of the
   *     'Infinality' code.
   *
   * @note:
   *   This property controls the behaviour of the bytecode interpreter and
   *   thus how outlines get hinted.  It does **not** control how glyph get
   *   rasterized!  In particular, it does not control subpixel color
   *   filtering.
   *
   *   If FreeType has not been compiled with the configuration option
   *   `TT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_HINTING`, selecting version~38 or~40 causes
   *   an `FT_Err_Unimplemented_Feature` error.
   *
   *   Depending on the graphics framework, Microsoft uses different bytecode
   *   and rendering engines.  As a consequence, the version numbers returned
   *   by a call to the 'GETINFO' bytecode instruction are more convoluted
   *   than desired.
   *
   *   Here are two tables that try to shed some light on the possible values
   *   for the MS rasterizer engine, together with the additional features
   *   introduced by it.

   *
   *   The 'version' field gives a rough orientation only, since some
   *   applications provided certain features much earlier (as an example,
   *   Microsoft Reader used subpixel and Y-direction ClearType already in
   *   Windows 2000).  Similarly, updates to a given framework might include
   *   improved hinting support.

   *
   *   Color and Gray ClearType are the two available variants of
   *   'Y-direction ClearType', meaning grayscale rasterization along the
   *   Y-direction; the name used in the TrueType specification for this
   *   feature is 'symmetric smoothing'.  'Classic ClearType' is the original
   *   algorithm used before introducing a modified version in Win~XP.
   *   Another name for v1.6's grayscale rendering is 'font smoothing', and
   *   'Color ClearType' is sometimes also called 'DWrite ClearType'.  To
   *   differentiate between today's Color ClearType and the earlier
   *   ClearType variant with B/W rendering along the vertical axis, the
   *   latter is sometimes called 'GDI ClearType'.
   *
   *   'Normal' and 'high' sampling describe the (virtual) resolution to
   *   access the rasterized outline after the hinting process.  'Normal'
   *   means 1 sample per grid line (i.e., B/W).  In the current Microsoft
   *   implementation, 'high' means an extra virtual resolution of 16x16 (or
   *   16x1) grid lines per pixel for bytecode instructions like 'MIRP'.
   *   After hinting, these 16 grid lines are mapped to 6x5 (or 6x1) grid
   *   lines for color filtering if Color ClearType is activated.
   *
   *   Note that 'Gray ClearType' is essentially the same as v1.6's grayscale
   *   rendering.  However, the GETINFO instruction handles it differently:
   *   v1.6 returns bit~12 (hinting for grayscale), while v2.1 returns
   *   bits~13 (hinting for ClearType), 18 (symmetrical smoothing), and~19
   *   (Gray ClearType).  Also, this mode respects bits 2 and~3 for the
   *   version~1 gasp table exclusively (like Color ClearType), while v1.6
   *   only respects the values of version~0 (bits 0 and~1).
   *
   *   Keep in mind that the features of the above interpreter versions might
   *   not map exactly to FreeType features or behavior because it is a
   *   fundamentally different library with different internals.

   * @property:
   *   interpreter-version
   *
   * @description:
   *   Currently, three versions are available, two representing the bytecode
   *   interpreter with subpixel hinting support (old 'Infinality' code and
   *   new stripped-down and higher performance 'minimal' code) and one
   *   without, respectively.  The default is subpixel support if
   *   `TT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_HINTING` is defined, and no subpixel
   *   support otherwise (since it isn't available then).
   *
   *   If subpixel hinting is on, many TrueType bytecode instructions behave
   *   differently compared to B/W or grayscale rendering (except if 'native
   *   ClearType' is selected by the font).  Microsoft's main idea is to
   *   render at a much increased horizontal resolution, then sampling down
   *   the created output to subpixel precision.  However, many older fonts
   *   are not suited to this and must be specially taken care of by applying
   *   (hardcoded) tweaks in Microsoft's interpreter.
   *
   *   Details on subpixel hinting and some of the necessary tweaks can be
   *   found in Greg Hitchcock's whitepaper at
   *   'https://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/truetypecleartype.aspx'.
   *   Note that FreeType currently doesn't really 'subpixel hint' (6x1, 6x2,
   *   or 6x5 supersampling) like discussed in the paper.  Depending on the
   *   chosen interpreter, it simply ignores instructions on vertical stems
   *   to arrive at very similar results.
   *
   * @note:
   *   This property can be used with @FT_Property_Get also.
   *
   *   This property can be set via the `FREETYPE_PROPERTIES` environment
   *   variable (using values '35', '38', or '40').

   * @property:
   *   glyph-to-script-map
   *
   * @description:
   *   **Experimental only**
   *
   *   The auto-hinter provides various script modules to hint glyphs.
   *   Examples of supported scripts are Latin or CJK.  Before a glyph is
   *   auto-hinted, the Unicode character map of the font gets examined, and
   *   the script is then determined based on Unicode character ranges, see
   *   below.
   *
   *   OpenType fonts, however, often provide much more glyphs than character
   *   codes (small caps, superscripts, ligatures, swashes, etc.), to be
   *   controlled by so-called 'features'.  Handling OpenType features can be
   *   quite complicated and thus needs a separate library on top of
   *   FreeType.
   *
   *   The mapping between glyph indices and scripts (in the auto-hinter
   *   sense, see the @FT_AUTOHINTER_SCRIPT_XXX values) is stored as an array
   *   with `num_glyphs` elements, as found in the font's @FT_Face structure.
   *   The `glyph-to-script-map` property returns a pointer to this array,
   *   which can be modified as needed.  Note that the modification should
   *   happen before the first glyph gets processed by the auto-hinter so
   *   that the global analysis of the font shapes actually uses the modified
   *   mapping.
   *
   * @example:
   *   The following example code demonstrates how to access it (omitting the
   *   error handling).
   *
   *   ```
   *     FT_Library                library;

   *
   * @description:
   *   **Experimental only**
   *
   *   If no auto-hinter script module can be assigned to a glyph, a fallback
   *   script gets assigned to it (see also the @glyph-to-script-map
   *   property).  By default, this is @FT_AUTOHINTER_SCRIPT_CJK.  Using the
   *   `fallback-script` property, this fallback value can be changed.
   *
   * @note:
   *   This property can be used with @FT_Property_Get also.
   *
   *   It's important to use the right timing for changing this value: The
   *   creation of the glyph-to-script map that eventually uses the fallback
   *   script value gets triggered either by setting or reading a
   *   face-specific property like @glyph-to-script-map, or by auto-hinting
   *   any glyph from that face.  In particular, if you have already created
   *   an @FT_Face structure but not loaded any glyph (using the
   *   auto-hinter), a change of the fallback script will affect this face.
   *
   * @example:
   *   ```
   *     FT_Library  library;
   *     FT_UInt     fallback_script = FT_AUTOHINTER_SCRIPT_NONE;

   * @description:
   *   **Experimental only**
   *
   *   If FreeType gets compiled with `FT_CONFIG_OPTION_USE_HARFBUZZ` to make
   *   the HarfBuzz library access OpenType features for getting better glyph
   *   coverages, this property sets the (auto-fitter) script to be used for
   *   the default (OpenType) script data of a font's GSUB table.  Features
   *   for the default script are intended for all scripts not explicitly
   *   handled in GSUB; an example is a 'dlig' feature, containing the
   *   combination of the characters 'T', 'E', and 'L' to form a 'TEL'
   *   ligature.
   *
   *   By default, this is @FT_AUTOHINTER_SCRIPT_LATIN.  Using the
   *   `default-script` property, this default value can be changed.
   *
   * @note:
   *   This property can be used with @FT_Property_Get also.
   *
   *   It's important to use the right timing for changing this value: The
   *   creation of the glyph-to-script map that eventually uses the default
   *   script value gets triggered either by setting or reading a
   *   face-specific property like @glyph-to-script-map, or by auto-hinting
   *   any glyph from that face.  In particular, if you have already created
   *   an @FT_Face structure but not loaded any glyph (using the
   *   auto-hinter), a change of the default script will affect this face.
   *
   * @example:
   *   ```
   *     FT_Library  library;
   *     FT_UInt     default_script = FT_AUTOHINTER_SCRIPT_NONE;
   *
   *
   *     FT_Init_FreeType( &library );
   *
   *     FT_Property_Set( library, "autofitter",
   *                               "default-script", &default_script );

   * @property:
   *   warping
   *
   * @description:
   *   **Experimental only**
   *
   *   If FreeType gets compiled with option `AF_CONFIG_OPTION_USE_WARPER` to
   *   activate the warp hinting code in the auto-hinter, this property
   *   switches warping on and off.
   *
   *   Warping only works in 'normal' auto-hinting mode replacing it.  The
   *   idea of the code is to slightly scale and shift a glyph along the
   *   non-hinted dimension (which is usually the horizontal axis) so that as
   *   much of its segments are aligned (more or less) to the grid.  To find
   *   out a glyph's optimal scaling and shifting value, various parameter
   *   combinations are tried and scored.
   *
   *   By default, warping is off.
   *
   * @note:
   *   This property can be used with @FT_Property_Get also.
   *
   *   This property can be set via the `FREETYPE_PROPERTIES` environment
   *   variable (using values 1 and 0 for 'on' and 'off', respectively).
   *
   *   The warping code can also change advance widths.  Have a look at the
   *   `lsb_delta` and `rsb_delta` fields in the @FT_GlyphSlotRec structure
   *   for details on improving inter-glyph distances while rendering.
   *
   *   Since warping is a global property of the auto-hinter it is best to
   *   change its value before rendering any face.  Otherwise, you should
   *   reload all faces that get auto-hinted in 'normal' hinting mode.
   *
   * @example:
   *   This example shows how to switch on warping (omitting the error
   *   handling).
   *
   *   ```
   *     FT_Library  library;
   *     FT_Bool     warping = 1;
   *
   *
   *     FT_Init_FreeType( &library );
   *
   *     FT_Property_Set( library, "autofitter", "warping", &warping );
