freetypy.Glyph

class freetypy.Glyph

Information pertaining to a single glyph.

Notes

If Face.load_glyph is called with default flags (see LOAD.DEFAULT) the glyph image is loaded in the glyph slot in its native format (e.g., an outline glyph for TrueType and Type 1 formats).

This image can later be converted into a bitmap by calling Glyph.render.
