+ * FreeType provides the ability to synthesize different glyphs from a base

+ * font.
+ *
+ * Individual synthesis features of a @c FtFontFace can be set using

+ * options can be queried with @c FtFontFace::get_synthesize().
+ *
+ * Note: that when synthesizing glyphs, the font metrics returned will only be
+ * estimates.
