CAIROHINTSTYLE(3) 1 CAIROHINTSTYLE(3)
The CairoHintStyle class
INTRODUCTION
Specifies the type of hinting to do on font outlines. Hinting is the process of fitting outlines to the pixel grid in order to improve the
appearance of the result. Since hinting outlines involves distorting them, it also reduces the faithfulness to the original outline shapes.
Not all of the outline hinting styles are supported by all font backends.
