    This function is used to apply color filtering to LCD decimated bitmaps,
    like the ones used when calling FT_Render_Glyph with FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD or
    FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD_V.

    **Note**

    This feature is always disabled by default. Clients must make an explicit
    call to this function with a 'filter' value other than FT_LCD_FILTER_NONE
    in order to enable it.

    Due to PATENTS covering subpixel rendering, this function doesn't do
    anything except returning 'FT_Err_Unimplemented_Feature' if the
    configuration macro FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING is not defined in
    your build of the library, which should correspond to all default builds of
    FreeType.

    The filter affects glyph bitmaps rendered through FT_Render_Glyph,
    FT_Outline_Get_Bitmap, FT_Load_Glyph, and FT_Load_Char.

    It does not affect the output of FT_Outline_Render and
    FT_Outline_Get_Bitmap.

    If this feature is activated, the dimensions of LCD glyph bitmaps are
    either larger or taller than the dimensions of the corresponding outline
    with regards to the pixel grid. For example, for FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD, the
    filter adds up to 3 pixels to the left, and up to 3 pixels to the right.

    The bitmap offset values are adjusted correctly, so clients shouldn't need
    to modify their layout and glyph positioning code when enabling the filter.

    Note that due to glyph hinting, these values might not be exact for certain
    fonts. Thus they must be treated as unreliable with an error margin of at
    least one pixel!

    Indeed, the only way to get the exact metrics is to render all glyphs. As

        **Note**:
        
          To get meaningful results, font scaling values must be set with
          functions like FT_Set_Char_Size before calling FT_Render_Glyph.

          When FreeType outputs a bitmap of a glyph, it really outputs an alpha
          coverage map. If a pixel is completely covered by a filled-in
          outline, the bitmap contains 0xFF at that pixel, meaning that
          0xFF/0xFF fraction of that pixel is covered, meaning the pixel is
          100% black (or 0% bright). If a pixel is only 50% covered
          (value 0x80), the pixel is made 50% black (50% bright or a middle
          shade of grey). 0% covered means 0% black (100% bright or white).

          On high-DPI screens like on smartphones and tablets, the pixels are
          so small that their chance of being completely covered and therefore
          completely black are fairly good. On the low-DPI screens, however,
          the situation is different. The pixels are too large for most of the
          details of a glyph and shades of gray are the norm rather than the
          exception.

          This is relevant because all our screens have a second problem: they
          are not linear. 1 + 1 is not 2. Twice the value does not result in
          twice the brightness. When a pixel is only 50% covered, the coverage
          map says 50% black, and this translates to a pixel value of 128 when
          you use 8 bits per channel (0-255). However, this does not translate
          to 50% brightness for that pixel on our sRGB and gamma 2.2 screens.
          Due to their non-linearity, they dwell longer in the darks and only a
          pixel value of about 186 results in 50% brightness – 128 ends up too
          dark on both bright and dark backgrounds. The net result is that dark
          text looks burnt-out, pixely and blotchy on bright background, bright
          text too frail on dark backgrounds, and colored text on colored
          background (for example, red on green) seems to have dark halos or
          ‘dirt’ around it. The situation is especially ugly for diagonal stems
          like in ‘w’ glyph shapes where the quality of FreeType's
          anti-aliasing depends on the correct display of grays. On high-DPI
          screens where smaller, fully black pixels reign supreme, this doesn't
          matter, but on our low-DPI screens with all the gray shades, it does.
          0% and 100% brightness are the same things in linear and non-linear
          space, just all the shades in-between aren't.

          The blending function for placing text over a background is

          dst = alpha * src + (1 - alpha) * dst

          which is known as the OVER operator.

          To correctly composite an anti-aliased pixel of a glyph onto a
          surface, take the foreground and background colors (e.g., in sRGB
          space) and apply gamma to get them in a linear space, use OVER to
          blend the two linear colors using the glyph pixel as the alpha value
          (remember, the glyph bitmap is an alpha coverage bitmap), and apply
          inverse gamma to the blended pixel and write it back to the image.

          Internal testing at Adobe found that a target inverse gamma of 1.8
          for step 3 gives good results across a wide range of displays with
          an sRGB gamma curve or a similar one.

          This process can cost performance. There is an approximation that
          does not need to know about the background color; see
          https://bel.fi/alankila/lcd/ and
          https://bel.fi/alankila/lcd/alpcor.html for details.

          **ATTENTION:** Linear blending is even more important when dealing
          with subpixel-rendered glyphs to prevent color-fringing! A
          subpixel-rendered glyph must first be filtered with a filter that
          gives equal weight to the three color primaries and does not exceed a
          sum of 0x100, see section ‘Subpixel Rendering’. Then the only
          difference to gray linear blending is that subpixel-rendered linear
          blending is done 3 times per pixel: red foreground subpixel to red
          background subpixel and so on for green and blue.
