#define FT_VALIDATE_GX_LENGTH     (FT_VALIDATE_GX_LAST_INDEX + 1)

The number of tables checked in this module. Use it as a parameter for the ‘table-length’ argument of function FT_TrueTypeGX_Validate.

A list of bit-field constants used with FT_TrueTypeGX_Validate to indicate which TrueTypeGX/AAT Type tables should be validated.

  FT_EXPORT( FT_Error )
  FT_TrueTypeGX_Validate( FT_Face   face,
                          FT_UInt   validation_flags,
                          FT_Bytes  tables[FT_VALIDATE_GX_LENGTH],
                          FT_UInt   table_length );

Validate various TrueTypeGX tables to assure that all offsets and indices are valid. The idea is that a higher-level library which actually does the text layout can access those tables without error checking (which can be quite time consuming).

FreeType error code. 0 means success.

This function only works with TrueTypeGX fonts, returning an error otherwise.

After use, the application should deallocate the buffers pointed to by each ‘tables’ element, by calling FT_TrueTypeGX_Free. A NULL value indicates that the table either doesn't exist in the font, the application hasn't asked for validation, or the validator doesn't have the ability to validate the sfnt table.

  FT_EXPORT( void )
  FT_TrueTypeGX_Free( FT_Face   face,
                      FT_Bytes  table );

Free the buffer allocated by TrueTypeGX validator.

This function must be used to free the buffer allocated by FT_TrueTypeGX_Validate only.

#define FT_VALIDATE_MS     ( FT_VALIDATE_GX_START << 0 )
#define FT_VALIDATE_APPLE  ( FT_VALIDATE_GX_START << 1 )

#define FT_VALIDATE_CKERN  ( FT_VALIDATE_MS | FT_VALIDATE_APPLE )

A list of bit-field constants used with FT_ClassicKern_Validate to indicate the classic kern dialect or dialects. If the selected type doesn't fit, FT_ClassicKern_Validate regards the table as invalid.

  FT_EXPORT( FT_Error )
  FT_ClassicKern_Validate( FT_Face    face,
                           FT_UInt    validation_flags,
                           FT_Bytes  *ckern_table );

Validate classic (16bit format) kern table to assure that the offsets and indices are valid. The idea is that a higher-level library which actually does the text layout can access those tables without error checking (which can be quite time consuming).

The ‘kern’ table validator in FT_TrueTypeGX_Validate deals with both the new 32bit format and the classic 16bit format, while FT_ClassicKern_Validate only supports the classic 16bit format.

FreeType error code. 0 means success.

After use, the application should deallocate the buffers pointed to by ‘ckern_table’, by calling FT_ClassicKern_Free. A NULL value indicates that the table doesn't exist in the font.

  FT_EXPORT( void )
  FT_ClassicKern_Free( FT_Face   face,
                       FT_Bytes  table );

Free the buffer allocated by classic Kern validator.

This function must be used to free the buffer allocated by FT_ClassicKern_Validate only.
