   *
   * @func:
   *   FT_Library_SetLcdFilter
   *
   * @description:
   *   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.
   *
   * @input:
   *   library ::
   *     A handle to the target library instance.
   *
   *   filter_weights ::
   *     A pointer to an array of 5 bytes corresponding to the weights of a
   *     5-tap FIR filter.  Each weight must be positive, and their sum
   *     should be at least 256 to avoid loss of darkness in the rendered
   *     glyphs.  The sum can be greater than 256 to darken the glyphs
   *     (`el-cheapo gamma').
   *
   *     You can use @FT_LCD_FILTER_NONE here to disable this feature, or
   *     @FT_LCD_FILTER_DEFAULT to use a default filter that should work
   *     well on most LCD screens.
   *
   * @return:
   *   FreeType error code.  0 means success.
   *
   * @note:
   *   This feature is always disabled by default.  Clients must make an
   *   explicit call to this function with a `filter_weights' 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 the library.
   *
   *   The filter affects glyph bitmaps rendered through FT_Render_Glyph,
   *   @@FT_Glyph_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.
