  /*
   * The following explanations are mostly taken from the article
   *
   *   Real-Time Grid Fitting of Typographic Outlines
   *
   * by David Turner and Werner Lemberg

   *
   *
   * Segments
   *
   *   `af_{cjk,latin,...}_hints_compute_segments' are the functions to
   *   find segments in an outline.
   *
   *   A segment is a series of at least two consecutive points that are
   *   approximately aligned along a coordinate axis.  The analysis to do
   *   so is specific to a writing system.
   *
   *
   * Edges
   *
   *   `af_{cjk,latin,...}_hints_compute_edges' are the functions to find
   *   edges.
   *
   *   As soon as segments are defined, the auto-hinter groups them into
   *   edges.  An edge corresponds to a single position on the main
   *   dimension that collects one or more segments (allowing for a small
   *   threshold).
   *
   *   As an example, the `latin' writing system first tries to grid-fit
   *   edges, then to align segments on the edges unless it detects that
   *   they form a serif.

   *
   * Stems
   *
   *   Stems are detected by `af_{cjk,latin,...}_hint_edges'.
   *
   *   Segments need to be `linked' to other ones in order to detect stems.
   *   A stem is made of two segments that face each other in opposite
   *   directions and that are sufficiently close to each other.  Using
   *   vocabulary from the TrueType specification, stem segments form a
   *   `black distance'.
   *
   *   In the above ASCII drawing, the horizontal segments are BC, DE, and
   *   FG; the vertical segments are AB, CD, EF, and GH.
   *
   *   Each segment has at most one `best' candidate to form a black
   *   distance, or no candidate at all.  Notice that two distinct segments
   *   can have the same candidate, which frequently means a serif.
   *
   *   A stem is recognized by the following condition:
   *
   *     best segment_1 = segment_2 && best segment_2 = segment_1
   *
   *   The best candidate is stored in field `link' in structure
   *   `AF_Segment'.
   *
   *   In the above ASCII drawing, the best candidate for both AB and CD is
   *   GH, while the best candidate for GH is AB.  Similarly, the best
   *   candidate for EF and GH is AB, while the best candidate for AB is
   *   GH.
   *
   *   The detection and handling of stems is dependent on the writing
   *   system.
   *
   *
   * Serifs
   *
   *   Serifs are detected by `af_{cjk,latin,...}_hint_edges'.
   *
   *   In comparison to a stem, a serif (as handled by the auto-hinter
   *   module that takes care of the `latin' writing system) has
   *
   *     best segment_1 = segment_2 && best segment_2 != segment_1
   *
   *   where segment_1 corresponds to the serif segment (CD and EF in the
   *   above ASCII drawing).
   *
   *   The best candidate is stored in field `serif' in structure
   *   `AF_Segment' (and `link' is set to NULL).
   *
   *
   * Touched points
   *
   *   A point is called `touched' if it has been processed somehow by the
   *   auto-hinter.  It basically means that it shouldn't be moved again
   *   (or moved only under certain constraints to preserve the already
   *   applied processing).
   *
   *
   * Flat and round segments
   *
   *   Segments are `round' or `flat', depending on the series of points
   *   that define them.  A segment is round if the next and previous point
   *   of an extremum (which can be either a single point or sequence of
   *   points) are both conic or cubic control points.  Otherwise, a
   *   segment with an extremum is flat.
   *
   *
   * Strong Points
   *
   *   Experience has shown that points not part of an edge need to be
   *   interpolated linearly between their two closest edges, even if these
   *   are not part of the contour of those particular points.  Typical
   *   candidates for this are
   *
   *   - angle points (i.e., points where the `in' and `out' direction
   *     differ greatly)
   *
   *   - inflection points (i.e., where the `in' and `out' angles are the
   *     same, but the curvature changes sign) [currently, such points
   *     aren't handled specially in the auto-hinter]
   *
   *   `af_glyph_hints_align_strong_points' is the function that takes
   *   care of such situations; it is equivalent to the TrueType `IP'
   *   hinting instruction.
   *
   *
   * Weak Points
   *
   *   Other points in the outline must be interpolated using the
   *   coordinates of their previous and next unfitted contour neighbours.
   *   These are called `weak points' and are touched by the function
   *   `af_glyph_hints_align_weak_points', equivalent to the TrueType `IUP'
   *   hinting instruction.  Typical candidates are control points and
   *   points on the contour without a major direction.
   *
   *   The major effect is to reduce possible distortion caused by
   *   alignment of edges and strong points, thus weak points are processed
   *   after strong points.
