* embedded fonts in certain environments (e.g. Postscript interpreters),
* where the glyph data isn't in the font file, or must be over-ridden by
* different values.
*
* @note:
* it's up to client applications to create and implement @FT_Incremental
* objects, as long as they provide implementations for the methods
* @FT_Incremental_GetGlyphDataFunc, @FT_Incremental_FreeGlyphDataFunc
* and @FT_Incremental_GetGlyphMetricsFunc
*
* see the description of @FT_Incremental_ServiceRec to understand how to
* use incremental objects with FreeType.

* @note:
* if this function returns succesfully, the method
* @FT_Incremental_FreeGlyphDataFunc will be called later to "release"
