<para>
<link linkend="cairo-font-type-t"><type>cairo_font_type_t</type></link> is used to describe the type of a given font
face or scaled font. The font types are also known as "font
backends" within cairo.
</para>
<para>
The type of a font face is determined by the function used to
create it, which will generally be of the form
cairo_<emphasis>type</emphasis>_font_face_create. The font face type can be queried
with <link linkend="cairo-font-face-get-type"><function>cairo_font_face_get_type()</function></link>
</para>
<para>
The various cairo_font_face functions can be used with a font face
of any type.
</para>
<para>
The type of a scaled font is determined by the type of the font
face passed to cairo_scaled_font_create. The scaled font type can
be queried with <link linkend="cairo-scaled-font-get-type"><function>cairo_scaled_font_get_type()</function></link>
</para>
<para>
The various cairo_scaled_font functions can be used with scaled
fonts of any type, but some font backends also provide
type-specific functions that must only be called with a scaled font
of the appropriate type. These functions have names that begin with
cairo_<emphasis>type</emphasis>_scaled_font such as cairo_ft_scaled_font_lock_face.
</para>
<para>
The behavior of calling a type-specific function with a scaled font
of the wrong type is undefined.
