   * @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.
   *
   *   The following example code demonstrates how to access it (omitting
   *   the error handling).
   *
   *   {
   *     FT_Library                library;
   *     FT_Face                   face;
   *     FT_Prop_GlyphToScriptMap  prop;
   *
   *
   *     FT_Init_FreeType( &library );
   *     FT_New_Face( library, "foo.ttf", 0, &face );
   *
   *     prop.face = face;
   *
   *     FT_Property_Get( library, "autofitter",
   *                               "glyph-to-script-map", &prop );
   *
   *     // adjust `prop.map' as needed right here
   *
   *     FT_Load_Glyph( face, ..., FT_LOAD_FORCE_AUTOHINT );

   * @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,

   *
   * @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

   *   Features for the default script are intended for all scripts not

   *   form a `TEL' ligature.

   *
   *   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 `light' auto-hinting mode.  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.  The example below shows how to switch on
   *   warping (omitting the error handling).
   *
   *   {
   *     FT_Library  library;
   *     FT_Bool     warping = 1;
   *
   *

   *                               "warping", &warping );
   *   }
   *
   * @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 `light' hinting mode.

   *   *Experimental* *only,* *requires* *linear* *alpha* *blending* *and*
   *   *gamma* *correction*
   *
   *   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.  All glyphs that pass through the auto-hinter will
   *   be emboldened unless this property is set to TRUE.
   *
   *   See the description of the CFF driver for algorithmic details.  Total
   *   consistency with the CFF driver is currently not achieved 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.
   *
   *   This property can be set via the `FREETYPE_PROPERTIES' environment
   *   variable similar to the CFF driver.
