* face :: handle to source face object
* glyph_index :: glyph index in face
* load_flags :: load flags, see FT_LOAD_FLAG_XXXX constants..

* <Note>
* If the font contains glyph outlines, these will be automatically
* converted to a bitmap according to the value of "grays"

* If "grays" is set to 0, the result is a 1-bit monochrome bitmap
* otherwise, it is an 8-bit gray-level bitmap

* The number of gray levels in the result anti-aliased bitmap might
* not be "grays", depending on the current scan-converter implementation

* Note that it is not possible to generate 8-bit monochrome bitmaps
* with this function. Rather, use FT_Get_Glyph_Outline, then
* FT_Glyph_Render_Outline and provide your own span callbacks..
*
* When the face doesn't contain scalable outlines, this function will
* fail if the current transform is not the identity, or if the glyph
* origin's phase to the pixel grid is not 0 in both directions !!
