 * FTFont is the public interface for the FTGL library.

 * Specific font classes are derived from this class. It uses the helper
 * classes FTFace and FTSize to access the Freetype library. This class
 * is abstract and deriving classes must implement the protected
 * <code>MakeGlyph</code> function to create glyphs of the
 * appropriate type.
 *
 * It is good practice after using these functions to test the error
 * code returned. <code>FT_Error Error()</code>. Check the freetype file fterrdef.h
 * for error definitions.
