#ifdef TT_SUPPORT_SUBPIXEL_HINTING_MINIMAL
/*
* FreeType supports ClearType-like hinting of TrueType fonts through
* the version 40 interpreter. This is achieved through several hacks
* in the base (v35) interpreter, as detailed below.
*
* ClearType is an umbrella term for several rendering techniques
* employed by Microsoft's various GUI and rendering toolkit
* implementations, most importantly: subpixel rendering for using the
* RGB subpixels of LCDs to approximately triple the perceived
* resolution on the x-axis and subpixel hinting for positioning stems
* on subpixel borders. TrueType programming is explicit, i.e., fonts
* must be programmed to take advantage of ClearType's possibilities.
*
* When ClearType was introduced, it seemed unlikely that all fonts
* would be reprogrammed, so Microsoft decided to implement a backward
* compatibility mode. It employs several simple to complicated
* assumptions and tricks, many of them font-dependent, that modify the
* interpretation of the bytecode contained in these fonts to retrofit
* them into a ClearType-y look. The quality of the results varies.
* Most (web)fonts that were released since then have come to rely on
* these hacks to render correctly, even some of Microsoft's flagship
* fonts (e.g., Calibri, Cambria, Segoe UI).
*
* FreeType's minimal subpixel hinting code (interpreter version 40)
* employs a small list of font-agnostic hacks loosely based on the
* public information available on Microsoft's compatibility mode[2].
* The focus is on modern (web)fonts rather than legacy fonts that were
* made for monochrome rendering. It will not match ClearType rendering
* exactly. Unlike the `Infinality' code (interpreter version 38) that
* came before, it will not try to toggle hacks for specific fonts for
* performance and complexity reasons. It will fall back to version 35
* behavior for tricky fonts[1] or when monochrome rendering is
* requested.
*
* Major hacks
*
* - Any point movement on the x axis is ignored (cf. `Direct_Move' and
* `Direct_Move_X'). This has the smallest code footprint and single
* biggest effect. The ClearType way to increase resolution is
* supersampling the x axis, the FreeType way is ignoring instructions
* on the x axis, which gives the same result in the majority of
* cases.
*
* - Points are not moved post-IUP (neither on the x nor on the y axis),
* except the x component of diagonal moves post-IUP (cf.
* `Direct_Move', `Direct_Move_Y', `Move_Zp2_Point'). Post-IUP
* changes are commonly used to `fix' pixel patterns which has little
* use outside monochrome rendering.
*
* - SHPIX and DELTAP don't execute unless moving a composite on the
* y axis or moving a previously y touched point. SHPIX additionally
* denies movement on the x axis (cf. `Ins_SHPIX' and `Ins_DELTAP').
* Both instructions are commonly used to `fix' pixel patterns for
* monochrome or Windows's GDI rendering but make little sense for
* FreeType rendering. Both can distort the outline. See [2] for
* details.
*
* - The hdmx table and modifications to phantom points are ignored.
* Bearings and advance widths remain unchanged (except rounding them
* outside the interpreter!), cf. `compute_glyph_metrics' and
* `TT_Hint_Glyph'. Letting non-native-ClearType fonts modify spacing
* might mess up spacing.
*
* Minor hacks
*
* - FLIPRGON, FLIPRGOFF, and FLIPPT don't execute post-IUP. This
* prevents dents in e.g. Arial-Regular's `D' and `G' glyphs at
* various sizes.
*
* (Post-IUP is the state after both IUP[x] and IUP[y] have been
* executed.)
*
* The best results are achieved for fonts that were from the outset
* designed with ClearType in mind, meaning they leave the x axis mostly
* alone and don't mess with the `final' outline to produce more
* pleasing pixel patterns. The harder the designer tried to produce
* very specific patterns (`superhinting') for pre-ClearType-displays,
* the worse the results.
*
* Microsoft defines a way to turn off backward compatibility and
* interpret instructions as before (called `native ClearType')[2][3].
* The font designer then regains full control and is responsible for
* making the font work correctly with ClearType without any
* hand-holding by the interpreter or rasterizer[4]. The v40
* interpreter assumes backward compatibility by default, which can be
* turned off the same way by executing the following in the control
* program (cf. `Ins_INSTCTRL').
*
* #PUSH 4,3
* INSTCTRL[]
*
* [1] Tricky fonts as FreeType defines them rely on the bytecode
* interpreter to display correctly. Hacks can interfere with them,
* so they get treated like native ClearType fonts (v40 with
* backward compatibility turned off). Cf. `TT_RunIns'.
*
* [2] Proposed by Microsoft's Greg Hitchcock in
*
* [3] Beat Stamm describes it in more detail:
*
* [4] The list of `native ClearType' fonts is small at the time of this
* writing; I found the following on a Windows 10 Update 1511
* installation: Constantia, Corbel, Sitka, Malgun Gothic, Microsoft
* JhengHei (Bold and UI Bold), Microsoft YaHei (Bold and UI Bold),
* SimSun, NSimSun, and Yu Gothic.
