  *
  *    If "grays" is set to 0, the result is a 1-bit monochrome bitmap

  *    The number of gray levels in the result anti-aliased bitmap might
  *    not be "grays", depending on the current scan-converter implementation

  *    Note that it is not possible to generate 8-bit monochrome bitmaps
  *    with this function. Rather, use FT_Get_Glyph_Outline, then
  *    FT_Glyph_Render_Outline and provide your own span callbacks..

  *    fail if the current transform is not the identity, or if the glyph
  *    origin's phase to the pixel grid is not 0 in both directions !!
