Re: API: how much to expose

[Stefan Seefeld]

...and another question:

you write in the docs that 

...You can perfectly create a shortcut to the glyph slot as in: 

            {
              FT_GlyphSlot  glyph;

              .... load glyph ...
              
              glyph = face->glyph;   /* shortcut to glyph data */
              
              .... access glyph data as glyph->xxxx
            }

Now, what is the semantic of a 'shortcut' ?
It seems it is a pointer (reference). This is important to know
since then, if you call Load_Glyph on the face (which seems to
modify it's internal singleton slot) the shortcut will be invalid.

If this is true, this is another reason to decouple face and glyph
(as I proposed in the other mail).
