<para>Font rendering options are represented both here and when you

<link linkend="cairo-ft-font-options-substitute"><function>cairo_ft_font_options_substitute()</function></link>.</para>
<para>The pattern's FC_FT_FACE element is inspected first and if that is set,
that will be the FreeType font face associated with the returned cairo
font face.  Otherwise the FC_FILE element is checked.  If it's set,
that and the value of the FC_INDEX element (defaults to zero) of <parameter>pattern</parameter>

are used to load a font face from file.</para>
<para>If both steps from the previous paragraph fails, <parameter>pattern</parameter>
 will be passed
to FcConfigSubstitute, FcDefaultSubstitute, and finally FcFontMatch,
and the resulting font pattern is used.</para>
<para>If the FC_FT_FACE element of <parameter>pattern</parameter>
 is set, the user is responsible
for making sure that the referenced FT_Face remains valid for the life
time of the returned <link linkend="cairo-font-face-t"><type>cairo_font_face_t</type></link>.  See
<link linkend="cairo-ft-font-face-create-for-ft-face"><function>cairo_ft_font_face_create_for_ft_face()</function></link> for an example of how to couple
the life time of the FT_Face to that of the cairo font-face.</para>

<para>cairo_ft_scaled_font_lock_face() gets the <link linkend="FT-Face"><type>FT_Face</type></link> object from a FreeType
backend font and scales it appropriately for the font and applies OpenType
font variations if applicable. You must
release the face with <link linkend="cairo-ft-scaled-font-unlock-face"><function>cairo_ft_scaled_font_unlock_face()</function></link>
when you are done using it.  Since the <link linkend="FT-Face"><type>FT_Face</type></link> object can be
shared between multiple <link linkend="cairo-scaled-font-t"><type>cairo_scaled_font_t</type></link> objects, you must not
lock any other font objects until you unlock this one. A count is
kept of the number of times <link linkend="cairo-ft-scaled-font-lock-face"><function>cairo_ft_scaled_font_lock_face()</function></link> is
called. <link linkend="cairo-ft-scaled-font-unlock-face"><function>cairo_ft_scaled_font_unlock_face()</function></link> must be called the same number
of times.</para>
<para>You must be careful when using this function in a library or in a
threaded application, because freetype's design makes it unsafe to
call freetype functions simultaneously from multiple threads, (even
if using distinct FT_Face objects). Because of this, application
code that acquires an FT_Face object with this call must add its
own locking to protect any use of that object, (and which also must
protect any other calls into cairo as almost any cairo function
might result in a call into the freetype library).</para>
