   *   While FreeType's CFF driver doesn't expose API functions by itself,
   *   it is possible to control its behaviour with @FT_Property_Set and
   *   @FT_Property_Get.  The following lists the available properties
   *   together with the necessary macros and structures.
   *
   *   The CFF driver's module name is `cff'.

   * @description:
   *   Thanks to Adobe, which contributed a new hinting (and parsing)
   *   engine, an application can select between `freetype' and `adobe'.
   *
   *   Right now, the default engine is `freetype'.  However, this will
   *   change: After a certain time of intensive testing it is planned to
   *   make `adobe' the default due to its superior rendering results.
   *
   *   The following example code demonstrates how to select Adobe's hinting
   *   engine (omitting the error handling).
   *
   *   {
   *     FT_Library  library;
   *     FT_Face     face;
   *     FT_UInt     hinting_engine = FT_CFF_HINTING_ADOBE;
