| <p>This section contains various functions used to perform so-called ‘incremental’ glyph loading. This is a mode where all glyphs loaded from a given <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Face">FT_Face</a> are provided by the client application.</p> |
| <p>Apart from that, all other tables are loaded normally from the font file. This mode is useful when FreeType is used within another engine, e.g., a PostScript Imaging Processor.</p> |
| <p>To enable this mode, you must use <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Open_Face">FT_Open_Face</a>, passing an <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Parameter">FT_Parameter</a> with the <a href="ft2-incremental.html#FT_PARAM_TAG_INCREMENTAL">FT_PARAM_TAG_INCREMENTAL</a> tag and an <a href="ft2-incremental.html#FT_Incremental_Interface">FT_Incremental_Interface</a> value. See the comments for <a href="ft2-incremental.html#FT_Incremental_InterfaceRec">FT_Incremental_InterfaceRec</a> for an example.</p> |

| |
| <h4>note</h4> |
| <p>It is up to client applications to create and implement <a href="ft2-incremental.html#FT_Incremental">FT_Incremental</a> objects, as long as they provide implementations for the methods <a href="ft2-incremental.html#FT_Incremental_GetGlyphDataFunc">FT_Incremental_GetGlyphDataFunc</a>, <a href="ft2-incremental.html#FT_Incremental_FreeGlyphDataFunc">FT_Incremental_FreeGlyphDataFunc</a> and <a href="ft2-incremental.html#FT_Incremental_GetGlyphMetricsFunc">FT_Incremental_GetGlyphMetricsFunc</a>.</p> |
