<p>This section contains various functions used to perform so-called ‘incremental’ glyph loading. This is a mode where all glyphs loaded from a given <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Face">FT_Face</a> are provided by the client application,</p>
54
<p>Apart from that, all other tables are loaded normally from the font file. This mode is useful when FreeType is used within another engine, e.g., a PostScript Imaging Processor.</p>
55
<p>To enable this mode, you must use <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Open_Face">FT_Open_Face</a>, passing an <a href="ft2-base_interface.html#FT_Parameter">FT_Parameter</a> with the <a href="ft2-incremental.html#FT_PARAM_TAG_INCREMENTAL">FT_PARAM_TAG_INCREMENTAL</a> tag and an <a href="ft2-incremental.html#FT_Incremental_Interface">FT_Incremental_Interface</a> value.
