43 * Custom Glyph Loading.
46 * This section contains various functions used to perform so-called
47 * `incremental' glyph loading. This is a mode where all glyphs loaded
48 * from a given @FT_Face are provided by the client application,
50 * Apart from that, all other tables are loaded normally from the font
51 * file. This mode is useful when FreeType is used within another
52 * engine, e.g., a PostScript Imaging Processor.
54 * To enable this mode, you must use @FT_Open_Face, passing an
55 * @FT_Parameter with the @FT_PARAM_TAG_INCREMENTAL tag and an
56 * @FT_Incremental_Interface value. See the comments for
57 * @FT_Incremental_InterfaceRec for an example.

71 * where the glyph data isn't in the font file, or must be overridden by
75 * It is up to client applications to create and implement @FT_Incremental
76 * objects, as long as they provide implementations for the methods
77 * @FT_Incremental_GetGlyphDataFunc, @FT_Incremental_FreeGlyphDataFunc
