This section describes the FreeType 2 cache sub-system, which is used to limit the number of concurrently opened FT_Face and FT_Size objects, as well as caching information like character maps and glyph images while limiting their maximum memory usage.
        
        

           

           

           

           
Note that all types and functions begin with the ‘FTC_’ prefix.
        
        

           

           

           

           
The cache is highly portable and thus doesn't know anything about the fonts installed on your system, or how to access them. This implies the following scheme:
        
        

           

           

           

           
First, available or installed font faces are uniquely identified by FTC_FaceID values, provided to the cache by the client. Note that the cache only stores and compares these values, and doesn't try to interpret them in any way.
        
        

           

           

           

           
Second, the cache calls, only when needed, a client-provided function to convert an FTC_FaceID into a new FT_Face object. The latter is then completely managed by the cache, including its termination through FT_Done_Face. To monitor termination of face objects, the finalizer callback in the ‘generic’ field of the FT_Face object can be used, which might also be used to store the FTC_FaceID of the face.
        
        

           

           

           

           
Clients are free to map face IDs to anything else. The most simple usage is to associate them to a (pathname,face_index) pair that is used to call FT_New_Face. However, more complex schemes are also possible.
        
        

           

           

           

           
Note that for the cache to work correctly, the face ID values must be persistent, which means that the contents they point to should not change at runtime, or that their value should not become invalid.
        
        

           

           

           

           
If this is unavoidable (e.g., when a font is uninstalled at runtime), you should call FTC_Manager_RemoveFaceID as soon as possible, to let the cache get rid of any references to the old FTC_FaceID it may keep internally. Failure to do so will lead to incorrect behaviour or even crashes.
        
        

           

           

           

           
To use the cache, start with calling FTC_Manager_New to create a new FTC_Manager object, which models a single cache instance. You can then look up FT_Face and FT_Size objects with FTC_Manager_LookupFace and FTC_Manager_LookupSize, respectively.
        
        

           

           

           

           
If you want to use the charmap caching, call FTC_CMapCache_New, then later use FTC_CMapCache_Lookup to perform the equivalent of FT_Get_Char_Index, only much faster.
        
        

           

           

           

           
If you want to use the FT_Glyph caching, call FTC_ImageCache, then later use FTC_ImageCache_Lookup to retrieve the corresponding FT_Glyph objects from the cache.
        
        

           

           

           

           
If you need lots of small bitmaps, it is much more memory efficient to call FTC_SBitCache_New followed by FTC_SBitCache_Lookup. This returns FTC_SBitRec structures, which are used to store small bitmaps directly. (A small bitmap is one whose metrics and dimensions all fit into 8-bit integers).
        
        

           

           

           

           
We hope to also provide a kerning cache in the near future.
        
        

           

           

           

           

        
        

           

           

           

           
FTC_Manager
        
        

           

           

           

           

        
        

           

           

           

           
Defined in FT_CACHE_H (freetype/ftcache.h).
        
        

           

           

           

           


        
        

           

           

           

           

        
        

           

           

           

           
 
        
        

           

           

           

           
  typedef struct FTC_ManagerRec_*  FTC_Manager;
        
        

           

           

           

           
 
        
        

           

           

           

           


        
        

           

           

           

           

        
        

           

           

           

           
This object corresponds to one instance of the cache-subsystem. It is used to cache one or more FT_Face objects, along with corresponding FT_Size objects.
        
        

           

           

           

           
The manager intentionally limits the total number of opened FT_Face and FT_Size objects to control memory usage. See the ‘max_faces’ and ‘max_sizes’ parameters of FTC_Manager_New.
        
        

           

           

           

           
The manager is also used to cache ‘nodes’ of various types while limiting their total memory usage.
        
        

           

           

           

           
All limitations are enforced by keeping lists of managed objects in most-recently-used order, and flushing old nodes to make room for new ones.

An opaque pointer type that is used to identity face objects. The contents of such objects is application-dependent.
        
        

           

           

           

           
These pointers are typically used to point to a user-defined structure containing a font file path, and face index.
        
        

           

           

           

           


        
        

           

           

           

           
note

        
        

           

           

           

           
Never use NULL as a valid FTC_FaceID.
        
        

           

           

           

           
Face IDs are passed by the client to the cache manager, which calls, when needed, the FTC_Face_Requester to translate them into new FT_Face objects.
        
        

           

           

           

           
If the content of a given face ID changes at runtime, or if the value becomes invalid (e.g., when uninstalling a font), you should immediately call FTC_Manager_RemoveFaceID before any other cache function.
        
        

           

           

           

           
Failure to do so will result in incorrect behaviour or even memory leaks and crashes.

The third parameter ‘req_data’ is the same as the one passed by the client when FTC_Manager_New is called.
        
        

           

           

           

           
The face requester should not perform funny things on the returned face object, like creating a new FT_Size for it, or setting a transformation through FT_Set_Transform!

An opaque handle to a cache node object. Each cache node is reference-counted. A node with a count of 0 might be flushed out of a full cache whenever a lookup request is performed.
        
        

           

           

           

           
If you look up nodes, you have the ability to ‘acquire’ them, i.e., to increment their reference count. This will prevent the node from being flushed out of the cache until you explicitly ‘release’ it (see FTC_Node_Unref).

The returned FT_Face object is always owned by the manager. You should never try to discard it yourself.
        
        

           

           

           

           
The FT_Face object doesn't necessarily have a current size object (i.e., face->size can be 0). If you need a specific ‘font size’, use FTC_Manager_LookupSize instead.
        
        

           

           

           

           
Never change the face's transformation matrix (i.e., never call the FT_Set_Transform function) on a returned face! If you need to transform glyphs, do it yourself after glyph loading.
        
        

           

           

           

           
When you perform a lookup, out-of-memory errors are detected within the lookup and force incremental flushes of the cache until enough memory is released for the lookup to succeed.
        
        

           

           

           

           
If a lookup fails with ‘FT_Err_Out_Of_Memory’ the cache has already been completely flushed, and still no memory was available for the operation.

When you perform a lookup, out-of-memory errors are detected within the lookup and force incremental flushes of the cache until enough memory is released for the lookup to succeed.
        
        

           

           

           

           
If a lookup fails with ‘FT_Err_Out_Of_Memory’ the cache has already been completely flushed, and still no memory is available for the operation.

The returned glyph is owned and managed by the glyph image cache. Never try to transform or discard it manually! You can however create a copy with FT_Glyph_Copy and modify the new one.
        
        

           

           

           

           
If ‘anode’ is not NULL, it receives the address of the cache node containing the glyph image, after increasing its reference count. This ensures that the node (as well as the FT_Glyph) will always be kept in the cache until you call FTC_Node_Unref to ‘release’ it.
        
        

           

           

           

           
If ‘anode’ is NULL, the cache node is left unchanged, which means that the FT_Glyph could be flushed out of the cache on the next call to one of the caching sub-system APIs. Don't assume that it is persistent!

Used to return the address of of the corresponding cache node after incrementing its reference count (see note below).

note

        
        

           

           

           

           
The returned glyph is owned and managed by the glyph image cache. Never try to transform or discard it manually! You can however create a copy with FT_Glyph_Copy and modify the new one.
        
        

           

           

           

           
If ‘anode’ is not NULL, it receives the address of the cache node containing the glyph image, after increasing its reference count. This ensures that the node (as well as the FT_Glyph) will always be kept in the cache until you call FTC_Node_Unref to ‘release’ it.
        
        

           

           

           

           
If ‘anode’ is NULL, the cache node is left unchanged, which means that the FT_Glyph could be flushed out of the cache on the next call to one of the caching sub-system APIs. Don't assume that it is persistent!
        
        

           

           

           

           
Calls to FT_Set_Char_Size and friends have no effect on cached glyphs; you should always use the FreeType cache API instead.
