   * @title:
   *   Subpixel Rendering
   *
   * @abstract:
   *   API to control subpixel rendering.
   *
   * @description:
   *   FreeType provides two alternative subpixel rendering technologies.
   *   Should you define `FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING` in your
   *   `ftoption.h` file, this enables ClearType-style rendering.
   *   Otherwise, Harmony LCD rendering is enabled.  These technologies are
   *   controlled differently and API described below, although always
   *   available, performs its function when appropriate method is enabled
   *   and does nothing otherwise.
   *
   *   ClearType-style LCD rendering exploits the color-striped structure of
   *   LCD pixels, increasing the available resolution in the direction of
   *   the stripe (usually horizontal RGB) by a factor of~3.  Using the
   *   subpixel coverages unfiltered can create severe color fringes
   *   especially when rendering thin features.  Indeed, to produce
   *   black-on-white text, the nearby color subpixels must be dimmed
   *   evenly.  Therefore, an equalizing 5-tap FIR filter should be applied
   *   to subpixel coverages regardless of pixel boundaries and should have
   *   these properties:
   *
   *   1. It should be symmetrical, like {~a, b, c, b, a~}, to avoid
   *      any shifts in appearance.
   *
   *   2. It should be color-balanced, meaning a~+ b~=~c, to reduce color
   *      fringes by distributing the computed coverage for one subpixel to
   *      all subpixels equally.
   *
   *   3. It should be normalized, meaning 2a~+ 2b~+ c~=~1.0 to maintain
   *      overall brightness.
   *
   *   Boxy 3-tap filter {0, 1/3, 1/3, 1/3, 0} is sharper but is less
   *   forgiving of non-ideal gamma curves of a screen (and viewing angles),
   *   beveled filters are fuzzier but more tolerant.
   *
   *   Use the @FT_Library_SetLcdFilter or @FT_Library_SetLcdFilterWeights
   *   API to specify a low-pass filter, which is then applied to
   *   subpixel-rendered bitmaps generated through @FT_Render_Glyph.
   *
   *   Harmony LCD rendering is suitable to panels with any regular subpixel
   *   structure, not just monitors with 3 color striped subpixels, as long
   *   as the color subpixels have fixed positions relative to the pixel
   *   center.  In this case, each color channel can be rendered separately
   *   after shifting the outline opposite to the subpixel shift so that the
   *   coverage maps are aligned.  This method is immune to color fringes
   *   because the shifts do not change integral coverage.
   *
   *   The subpixel geometry must be specified by xy-coordinates for each
   *   subpixel. By convention they may come in the RGB order: {{-1/3, 0},
   *   {0, 0}, {1/3, 0}} for standard RGB striped panel or {{-1/6, 1/4},
   *   {-1/6, -1/4}, {1/3, 0}} for a certain PenTile panel.
   *
   *   Use the @FT_Library_SetLcdGeometry API to specify subpixel positions.
   *   If one follows the RGB order convention, the same order applies to the
   *   resulting @FT_PIXEL_MODE_LCD and @FT_PIXEL_MODE_LCD_V bitmaps.  Note,
   *   however, that the coordinate frame for the latter must be rotated
   *   clockwise.  Harmony with default LCD geometry is equivalent to
   *   ClearType with light filter.
   *
   *   As a result of ClearType filtering or Harmony shifts, the resulting
   *   dimensions of LCD bitmaps can be slightly wider or taller than the
   *   dimensions the original outline with regard to the pixel grid.
   *   For example, for @FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD, the filter adds 2~subpixels to
   *   the left, and 2~subpixels to the right.  The bitmap offset values are
   *   adjusted accordingly, so clients shouldn't need to modify their layout
   *   and glyph positioning code when enabling the filter.
   *
   *   The ClearType and Harmony rendering is applicable to glyph bitmaps
   *   rendered through @FT_Render_Glyph, @FT_Load_Glyph, @FT_Load_Char, and
   *   @FT_Glyph_To_Bitmap, when @FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD or @FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD_V
   *   is specified.  This API does not control @FT_Outline_Render and
   *   @FT_Outline_Get_Bitmap.
   *
   *   The described algorithms can completely remove color artefacts when
   *   combined with gamma-corrected alpha blending in linear space.  Each of
   *   the 3~alpha values (subpixels) must by independently used to blend one
   *   color channel.  That is, red alpha blends the red channel of the text
   *   color with the red channel of the background pixel.

   *   FT_LCD_FILTER_NONE ::

   *     results in sometimes severe color fringes.
   *
   *   FT_LCD_FILTER_DEFAULT ::
   *     This is a beveled, normalized, and color-balanced five-tap filter
   *     with weights of [0x08 0x4D 0x56 0x4D 0x08] in 1/256 units.
   *
   *   FT_LCD_FILTER_LIGHT ::
   *     this is a boxy, normalized, and color-balanced three-tap filter with
   *     weights of [0x00 0x55 0x56 0x55 0x00] in 1/256 units.
   *
   *   FT_LCD_FILTER_LEGACY ::
   *   FT_LCD_FILTER_LEGACY1 ::
   *     This filter corresponds to the original libXft color filter.  It
   *     provides high contrast output but can exhibit really bad color
   *     fringes if glyphs are not extremely well hinted to the pixel grid.
   *     This filter is only provided for comparison purposes, and might be
   *     disabled or stay unsupported in the future. The second value is
   *     provided for compatibility with FontConfig, which historically used
   *     different enumeration, sometimes incorrectly forwarded to FreeType.
