enum Cairo::FontType
Overview
`FontType is used to describe the type of a given font face or scaled font. The font types are also known as "font backends" within cairo.
The type of a font face is determined by the function used to create it,
which will generally be of the form FontFace#initialize.
The font face type can be queried with FontFace#type.
The various FontFace functions can be used with a font face of any type.
The type of a scaled font is determined by the type of the font face passed to
FontFace#create_scaled_font. The scaled font type can be queried with scaledFont#type.
The various ScaledFont functions can be used with scaled fonts of any type,
but some font backends also provide type-specific functions that must only be
called with a scaled font of the appropriate type.
The behavior of calling a type-specific function with a scaled font of the wrong type is undefined.
New entries may be added in future versions.
