It is computed by scanning more or less */ /* aggressively the glyphs in the face, and thus can be */ /* very slow to compute (even if the size of global */ /* hints is really small). */ /* */ /* - glyph hints: These describe some important features of the glyph */ /* outline, as well as how to align them. They are */ /* generally much faster to compute than global hints. */ /* */ /* The current FreeType auto-hinter does a pretty good job while */ /* performing fast computations for both global and glyph hints. */ /* However, we might be interested in introducing more complex and */ /* powerful algorithms in the future, like the one described in the John */ /* D. Hobby paper, which unfortunately requires a lot more horsepower. */ /* */ /* Because a sufficiently sophisticated font management system would */ /* typically implement an LRU cache of opened face objects to reduce */ /* memory usage, it is a good idea to be able to avoid recomputing */ /* global hints every time the same face is re-opened. */ /* */ /* We thus provide the ability to cache global hints outside of the face */ /* object, in order to speed up font re-opening time. Of course, this */ /* feature is purely optional, so most client programs won't even notice */ /* it. */ /* */ /* I initially thought that it would be a good idea to cache the glyph */ /* hints too.
