#ifdef TT_SUPPORT_SUBPIXEL_HINTING_MINIMAL
    /*
     * FreeType supports ClearType-like hinting of TrueType fonts through
     * the version 40 interpreter.  This is achieved through several hacks
     * in the base (v35) interpreter, as detailed below.
     *
     * ClearType is an umbrella term for several rendering techniques
     * employed by Microsoft's various GUI and rendering toolkit
     * implementations, most importantly: subpixel rendering for using the
     * RGB subpixels of LCDs to approximately triple the perceived
     * resolution on the x-axis and subpixel hinting for positioning stems
     * on subpixel borders.  TrueType programming is explicit, i.e., fonts
     * must be programmed to take advantage of ClearType's possibilities.
     *
     * When ClearType was introduced, it seemed unlikely that all fonts
     * would be reprogrammed, so Microsoft decided to implement a backward
     * compatibility mode.  It employs several simple to complicated
     * assumptions and tricks, many of them font-dependent, that modify the
     * interpretation of the bytecode contained in these fonts to retrofit
     * them into a ClearType-y look.  The quality of the results varies.
     * Most (web)fonts that were released since then have come to rely on
     * these hacks to render correctly, even some of Microsoft's flagship
     * fonts (e.g., Calibri, Cambria, Segoe UI).
     *
     * FreeType's minimal subpixel hinting code (interpreter version 40)
     * employs a small list of font-agnostic hacks loosely based on the
     * public information available on Microsoft's compatibility mode[2].
     * The focus is on modern (web)fonts rather than legacy fonts that were
     * made for monochrome rendering.  It will not match ClearType rendering
     * exactly.  Unlike the `Infinality' code (interpreter version 38) that
     * came before, it will not try to toggle hacks for specific fonts for
     * performance and complexity reasons.  It will fall back to version 35
     * behavior for tricky fonts[1] or when monochrome rendering is
     * requested.
     *
     * Major hacks
     *
     * - Any point movement on the x axis is ignored (cf. `Direct_Move' and
     *   `Direct_Move_X').  This has the smallest code footprint and single
     *   biggest effect.  The ClearType way to increase resolution is
     *   supersampling the x axis, the FreeType way is ignoring instructions
     *   on the x axis, which gives the same result in the majority of
     *   cases.
     *
     * - Points are not moved post-IUP (neither on the x nor on the y axis),
     *   except the x component of diagonal moves post-IUP (cf.
     *   `Direct_Move', `Direct_Move_Y', `Move_Zp2_Point').  Post-IUP
     *   changes are commonly used to `fix' pixel patterns which has little
     *   use outside monochrome rendering.
     *
     * - SHPIX and DELTAP don't execute unless moving a composite on the
     *   y axis or moving a previously y touched point.  SHPIX additionally
     *   denies movement on the x axis (cf. `Ins_SHPIX' and `Ins_DELTAP').
     *   Both instructions are commonly used to `fix' pixel patterns for
     *   monochrome or Windows's GDI rendering but make little sense for
     *   FreeType rendering.  Both can distort the outline.  See [2] for
     *   details.
     *
     * - The hdmx table and modifications to phantom points are ignored.
     *   Bearings and advance widths remain unchanged (except rounding them
     *   outside the interpreter!), cf. `compute_glyph_metrics' and
     *   `TT_Hint_Glyph'.  Letting non-native-ClearType fonts modify spacing
     *   might mess up spacing.
     *
     * Minor hacks
     *
     * - FLIPRGON, FLIPRGOFF, and FLIPPT don't execute post-IUP.  This
     *   prevents dents in e.g. Arial-Regular's `D' and `G' glyphs at
     *   various sizes.
     *
     * (Post-IUP is the state after both IUP[x] and IUP[y] have been
     * executed.)
     *
     * The best results are achieved for fonts that were from the outset
     * designed with ClearType in mind, meaning they leave the x axis mostly
     * alone and don't mess with the `final' outline to produce more
     * pleasing pixel patterns.  The harder the designer tried to produce
     * very specific patterns (`superhinting') for pre-ClearType-displays,
     * the worse the results.
     *
     * Microsoft defines a way to turn off backward compatibility and
     * interpret instructions as before (called `native ClearType')[2][3].
     * The font designer then regains full control and is responsible for
     * making the font work correctly with ClearType without any
     * hand-holding by the interpreter or rasterizer[4].  The v40
     * interpreter assumes backward compatibility by default, which can be
     * turned off the same way by executing the following in the control
     * program (cf. `Ins_INSTCTRL').
     *
     *   #PUSH 4,3
     *   INSTCTRL[]
     *
     * [1] Tricky fonts as FreeType defines them rely on the bytecode
     *     interpreter to display correctly.  Hacks can interfere with them,
     *     so they get treated like native ClearType fonts (v40 with
     *     backward compatibility turned off).  Cf. `TT_RunIns'.
     *
     * [2] Proposed by Microsoft's Greg Hitchcock in
     *     https://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/truetypecleartype.aspx
     *
     * [3] Beat Stamm describes it in more detail:
     *     http://www.beatstamm.com/typography/RTRCh4.htm#Sec12
     *
     * [4] The list of `native ClearType' fonts is small at the time of this
     *     writing; I found the following on a Windows 10 Update 1511
     *     installation: Constantia, Corbel, Sitka, Malgun Gothic, Microsoft
     *     JhengHei (Bold and UI Bold), Microsoft YaHei (Bold and UI Bold),
     *     SimSun, NSimSun, and Yu Gothic.
