<p>A bit-flag to be OR-ed with the &lsquo;flags&rsquo; parameter of the <a href="ft2-quick_advance.html#FT_Get_Advance">FT_Get_Advance</a> and <a href="ft2-quick_advance.html#FT_Get_Advances">FT_Get_Advances</a> functions.</p>
<p>If set, it indicates that you want these functions to fail if the corresponding hinting mode or font driver doesn't allow for very quick advance computation.</p>
<p>Typically, glyphs that are either unscaled, unhinted, bitmapped, or light-hinted can have their advance width computed very quickly.</p>
<p>Normal and bytecode hinted modes that require loading, scaling, and hinting of the glyph outline, are extremely slow by comparison.</p>
