Hi all

I have a question on whether it is possible to perform sub pixel positioning
when my system is using Auto Hinting and FreeType's cache subsystem. If yes,
I would be really keen to know how. I need to perform text rendering that is
fast (thus it requires cache to be activated), support sub pixel positioning
and all glyphs are hinted.

>From my understanding, when cache subsystem is used, we can obtain glyph's
buffer and metrics using *FTC_SBitCache_Lookup*(). Text rendering will be
much faster if the glyph cache hit is high. There is one problem with this
which I know not yet how to solve, which is that FTC_SBit only return the
metric values in pixels instead of in 1/64th points. In addition to that,
when we perform Auto hinting, we can't get the lsb_delta and rsb_delta of a
glyph when FTC_SBitCache_Lookup() is used. I hope I am wrong.
