   * @Description:
   *   A bit-flag to be OR-ed with the `flags' parameter of the
   *   @FT_Get_Advance and @FT_Get_Advances functions.
   *
   *   If set, it indicates that you want these functions to fail if the
   *   corresponding hinting mode or font driver doesn't allow for very
   *   quick advance computation.
   *
   *   Typically, glyphs that are either unscaled, unhinted, bitmapped,
   *   or light-hinted can have their advance width computed very
   *   quickly.
   *
   *   Normal and bytecode hinted modes that require loading, scaling,
   *   and hinting of the glyph outline, are extremely slow by
   *   comparison.

   *
   * @Input:
   *   face ::
   *     The source @FT_Face handle.

   *     The glyph index.

   *     calling @FT_Load_Glyph, used to determine what kind
   *     of advances you need.
   * @Output:
   *   padvance ::
   *     The advance value.  If scaling is performed (based on
   *     the value of `load_flags'), the advance value is in
   *     16.16 format.  Otherwise, it is in font units.

   *     vertical advance corresponding to a vertical layout.
   *     Otherwise, it is the horizontal advance in a
   *     horizontal layout.
   *
   * @Return:
   *   FreeType error code.  0 means success.

   * @Note:
   *   This function may fail if you use @FT_ADVANCE_FLAG_FAST_ONLY and
   *   if the corresponding font backend doesn't have a quick way to
   *   retrieve the advances.
   *
   *   A scaled advance is returned in 16.16 format but isn't transformed
   *   by the affine transformation specified by @FT_Set_Transform.
