David Herrmann 0fee19a8c0 text: font: Simplify font-system and add freetype2 renderer
The freetype2 renderer uses ft2 and fontconfig to provide a very
simplistic renderer. We also simplify the logic of the whole subsystem a
lot and guarantee that each glyph will have the same size now.

/**
* SECTION:text_font
* @short_description: Font handling of text renderer
* @include: text.h
*
* The text renderer needs a backend that draws glyphs which then can be shown
* on the screen. This font handling subsystem provides a very simple API to
* load arbitrary font-renderer backends. That is, you can choose from
* in-memory bitmap fonts up to full Unicode compatible font libraries like
* pango during runtime.
*
* This system does not provide any renderer by itself. You need to register one
* of the available font-renderers first which then is used as backend for this
* system. kmscon_font_register() and kmscon_font_unregister() can be used to
* register font-renderers manually.
*
* @kmscon_font_attr is used to specify font-attributes for the fonts you want.
* Please see kmscon_font_find() for more information on font-attributes. This
* function returns a matching font which then can be used for drawing.
* kmscon_font_ref()/kmscon_font_unref() are used for reference counting.
* kmscon_font_render() renders a single unicode glyph and returns the glyph
* buffer. kmscon_font_drop() frees this buffer again. A kmscon_glyph object
* contains a memory-buffer with the renderered glyph plus some metrics like
* height/width but also ascent/descent.
*
* Font-backends must take into account that this API must be thread-safe as it
* is shared between different threads to reduce memory-footprint.

* kmscon_font_find:
* @out: A pointer to the new font is stored here
* @attr: Attribute describing the font
* @backend: Backend to use or NULL for default backend
*
* Lookup a font by the given attributes. It uses the font backend @backend. If
* it is NULL, the default backend is used. If the given backend cannot find the
* a suitable font, the fallback backend is tried. This backend should always
* find a suitable font.
*
* Stores a pointer to the new font in @out and returns 0. Otherwise, @out is
* not touched and an error is returned.
*
* The attributes in @attr are not always matched. There are even font backends
* which have only one fixed font and always return this one so you cannot rely
* on this behavior. That is, this function cannot be used to get an exact
* match, it rather returns the best matching font.
* There is currently no need to get an exact match so no API is available to
* get this. Instead, you should always use the best match and the user must be
* happy. We do print warnings if no close match can be found, though. The user
* should read them if they want more information what font fallback was used.
*
* If this functions fails, you must not assume that there is another font that
* might work. Moreover, you must not implement a fallback font yourself as this
* is already implemented inside of this function! This function fails only due
* to internal errors like failed memory allocations. If it fails, the chances
* that you can allocate your own fallback font are pretty small so don't do it.
*
* About DPI and Point Sizes:
* Many computer graphics systems use "Points" as measurement for font sizes.
* However, most of them also use 72 or 96 as fixed DPI size for monitors. This
* means, the Point sizes can be directly converted into pixels. But lets
* look at the facts:
* 1 Point is defined as 1/72 of an inch. That is, a 10 Point font will be
* exactly 10 / 72 inches, which is ~0.13889 inches, which is
* 0.13889 * 2.54 cm, which is approximately 0.3528 cm. This applies to
* printed paper. If we want the same on a monitor, we must need more
* information. First, the monitor renders in pixels, that is, we must know
* how many Pixels per Inch (PPI) are displayed. Often the same information is
* given as Dots per Inch (DPI) but these two are identical in this context.
* If the DPI is 96, we know that our 10 Point font is 10 / 72 inches. Which
* then means it is 10 / 72 * 96 pixels, which is ~13.333 pixels. So we
* internally render the font with 13 pixels and display it as 13 pixels. This
* guarantees, that the font will be 10 Point big which means 0.3528 cm on the
* display. This of course requires that we know the exact PPI/DPI of the
* display.
* But if we take into account that Windows uses fixed 96 PPI and Mac OS X 72
* PPI (independent of the monitor), they drop all this information and instead
* render the font in pixel sizes. Because if you use fixed 72 PPI, a 10 Point
* font will always be 10 / 72 * 72 = 10 pixels high. This means, it would be
* rather convenient to directly specify pixel-sizes on the monitor. If you want
* to work with documents that shall be printed, you want to specify Points so
* the printed result will look nice. But the disadvantage is, that your monitor
* can print this font in the weirdest size if it uses PPI much bigger or lower
* than the common 96 or 72. Therefore, if you work with a monitor you probably
* want to also specify the pixel-height of the font as you probably don't know
* the PPI of your monitor and don't want to do all that math in your head.
* Therefore, for applications that will probably never print their output (like
* the virtual (!) console this is for), it is often requested that we can
* specify the pixel size instead of the Point size of a font so you can
* predict the output better.
* Hence, we provide both. If pixel information is given, that is, attr->height
* is not 0, then we try to return a font with this pixel height.
* If it is 0, attr->points is used together with attr->ppi to calculate the
* pixel size. If attr->ppi is 0, then 72 is used.
* After the font was chosen, all fields "points", "ppi", "height" and "width"
* will contain the exact values for this font. If "ppi" was zero and pixel
* sizes where specified, then the resulting "points" size is calculated with
* "ppi" = 72 again. So if you use the "points" field please always specify
* "ppi", either.
*
* Returns: 0 on success, error code on failure
