   *   LCD Filtering
   *
   * @abstract:
   *   Reduce color fringes of subpixel-rendered bitmaps.
   *
   * @description:
   *   Should you #define FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING in your
   *   `ftoption.h', which enables patented ClearType-style rendering,
   *   the LCD-optimized glyph bitmaps should be filtered to reduce color
   *   fringes inherent to this technology.  The default FreeType LCD
   *   rendering uses different technology, and API described below,
   *   although available, does nothing.
   *
   *   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.  Since these
   *   subpixels are color pixels, using them unfiltered creates severe
   *   color fringes.  Use the @FT_Library_SetLcdFilter API to specify a
   *   low-pass filter, which is then applied to subpixel-rendered bitmaps
   *   generated through @FT_Render_Glyph.  The filter sacrifices some of
   *   the higher resolution to reduce color fringes, making the glyph image
   *   slightly blurrier.  Positional improvements will remain.
   *
   *   A filter should have two properties:
   *
   *   1) It should be normalized, meaning the sum of the 5~components
   *      should be 256 (0x100).  It is possible to go above or under this
   *      target sum, however: going under means tossing out contrast, going
   *      over means invoking clamping and thereby non-linearities that
   *      increase contrast somewhat at the expense of greater distortion
   *      and color-fringing.  Contrast is better enhanced through stem
   *      darkening.
   *
   *   2) It should be color-balanced, meaning a filter `{~a, b, c, b, a~}'
   *      where a~+ b~=~c.  It distributes the computed coverage for one
   *      subpixel to all subpixels equally, sacrificing some won resolution
   *      but drastically reducing color-fringing.  Positioning improvements
   *      remain!  Note that color-fringing can only really be minimized
   *      when using a color-balanced filter and alpha-blending the glyph
   *      onto a surface in linear space; see @FT_Render_Glyph.
   *
   *   Regarding the form, a filter can be a `boxy' filter or a `beveled'
   *   filter.  Boxy filters are sharper but are less forgiving of non-ideal
   *   gamma curves of a screen (viewing angles!), beveled filters are
   *   fuzzier but more tolerant.
   *
   *   Examples:
   *
   *   - [0x10 0x40 0x70 0x40 0x10] is beveled and neither balanced nor
   *     normalized.
   *
   *   - [0x1A 0x33 0x4D 0x33 0x1A] is beveled and balanced but not
   *     normalized.
   *
   *   - [0x19 0x33 0x66 0x4c 0x19] is beveled and normalized but not
   *     balanced.
   *
   *   - [0x00 0x4c 0x66 0x4c 0x00] is boxily beveled and normalized but not
   *     balanced.
   *
   *   - [0x00 0x55 0x56 0x55 0x00] is boxy, normalized, and almost
   *     balanced.
   *
   *   - [0x08 0x4D 0x56 0x4D 0x08] is beveled, normalized and, almost
   *     balanced.
   *
   *   The filter affects glyph bitmaps rendered through @FT_Render_Glyph,
   *   @FT_Load_Glyph, and @FT_Load_Char.  It does _not_ affect the output
   *   of @FT_Outline_Render and @FT_Outline_Get_Bitmap.
   *
   *   If this feature is activated, the dimensions of LCD glyph bitmaps are
   *   either wider or taller than the dimensions of the corresponding
   *   outline with regard to the pixel grid.  For example, for
   *   @FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD, the filter adds 3~subpixels to the left, and
   *   3~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.
   *
   *   It is important to understand that linear alpha blending and gamma
   *   correction is critical for correctly rendering glyphs onto surfaces
   *   without artifacts and even more critical when subpixel rendering is
   *   involved.
   *
   *   Each of the 3~alpha values (subpixels) is 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.  The
   *   distribution of density values by the color-balanced filter assumes
   *   alpha blending is done in linear space; only then color artifacts
   *   cancel out.

   * @enum:
   *   FT_LcdFilter
   *
   * @description:
   *   A list of values to identify various types of LCD filters.
   *
   * @values:
   *   FT_LCD_FILTER_NONE ::
   *     Do not perform filtering.  When used with subpixel rendering, this
   *     results in sometimes severe color fringes.
   *
   *   FT_LCD_FILTER_DEFAULT ::
   *     The default filter reduces color fringes considerably, at the cost
   *     of a slight blurriness in the output.
   *
   *     It is a beveled, normalized, and color-balanced five-tap filter
   *     that is more forgiving to screens with non-ideal gamma curves and
   *     viewing angles.  Note that while color-fringing is reduced, it can
   *     only be minimized by using linear alpha blending and gamma
   *     correction to render glyphs onto surfaces.  The default filter
   *     weights are [0x08 0x4D 0x56 0x4D 0x08].
   *
   *   FT_LCD_FILTER_LIGHT ::
   *     The light filter is a variant that is sharper at the cost of
   *     slightly more color fringes than the default one.
   *
   *     It is a boxy, normalized, and color-balanced three-tap filter that
   *     is less forgiving to screens with non-ideal gamma curves and
   *     viewing angles.  This filter works best when the rendering system
   *     uses linear alpha blending and gamma correction to render glyphs
   *     onto surfaces.  The light filter weights are
   *     [0x00 0x55 0x56 0x55 0x00].
   *
   *   FT_LCD_FILTER_LEGACY ::
   *     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.
   *     In other words, it only works well if the TrueType bytecode
   *     interpreter is enabled *and* high-quality hinted fonts are used.
   *
   *     This filter is only provided for comparison purposes, and might be
   *     disabled or stay unsupported in the future.
   *
   *   FT_LCD_FILTER_LEGACY1 ::
   *     For historical reasons, the FontConfig library returns a different
   *     enumeration value for legacy LCD filtering.  To make code work that
   *     (incorrectly) forwards FontConfig's enumeration value to
   *     @FT_Library_SetLcdFilter without proper mapping, it is thus easiest
   *     to have another enumeration value, which is completely equal to
   *     `FT_LCD_FILTER_LEGACY'.
   *
   * @since:
   *   2.3.0 (`FT_LCD_FILTER_LEGACY1' since 2.6.2)
