The TrueType Engine¶
Synopsis¶
This section contains a function used to query the level of TrueType bytecode support compiled in this version of the library.
FT_TrueTypeEngineType¶
Defined in FT_MODULE_H (freetype/ftmodapi.h).
  typedef enum  FT_TrueTypeEngineType_
  {
    FT_TRUETYPE_ENGINE_TYPE_NONE = 0,
    FT_TRUETYPE_ENGINE_TYPE_UNPATENTED,
    FT_TRUETYPE_ENGINE_TYPE_PATENTED
  } FT_TrueTypeEngineType;
A list of values describing which kind of TrueType bytecode engine is implemented in a given FT_Library instance. It is used by the FT_Get_TrueType_Engine_Type function.
values
| FT_TRUETYPE_ENGINE_TYPE_NONE | The library doesn't implement any kind of bytecode interpreter. | 
| FT_TRUETYPE_ENGINE_TYPE_UNPATENTED | Deprecated and removed. | 
| FT_TRUETYPE_ENGINE_TYPE_PATENTED | The library implements a bytecode interpreter that covers the full instruction set of the TrueType virtual machine (this was governed by patents until May 2010, hence the name). |

FT_Get_TrueType_Engine_Type¶
Defined in FT_MODULE_H (freetype/ftmodapi.h).
  FT_EXPORT( FT_TrueTypeEngineType )
  FT_Get_TrueType_Engine_Type( FT_Library  library );
Return an FT_TrueTypeEngineType value to indicate which level of the TrueType virtual machine a given library instance supports.
input
| library | A library instance. | 
return
A value indicating which level is supported.
