* Size Management
*
* @abstract:
* Managing multiple sizes per face.
*
* @description:
* When creating a new face object (e.g., with @FT_New_Face), an @FT_Size
* object is automatically created and used to store all pixel-size
* dependent information, available in the `face->size` field.
*
* It is however possible to create more sizes for a given face, mostly
* in order to manage several character pixel sizes of the same font
* family and style. See @FT_New_Size and @FT_Done_Size.
*
* Note that @FT_Set_Pixel_Sizes and @FT_Set_Char_Size only modify the
* contents of the current 'active' size; you thus need to use
* @FT_Activate_Size to change it.
*
* 99% of applications won't need the functions provided here, especially
* if they use the caching sub-system, so be cautious when using these.
