Hi:


Is there any other function to switch the face_index when a font contains multiple fonts, besides specifying the face_index&nbsp;when creating the face?


Another way is to first release and then create, but this is not efficient.


for example：
&nbsp;&nbsp;
FT_New_Face(ft_Lib，pathname, 0, &amp;face);
FT_Load_Char( face, chr, FT_LOAD_RENDER | FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING | FT_LOAD_MONOCHROME );
...
FT_Done_Face(face);
FT_New_Face(ft_Lib，pathname, 1, &amp;face);
FT_Load_Char( face, chr, FT_LOAD_RENDER | FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING | FT_LOAD_MONOCHROME );

...
FT_Done_Face(face);


What I expect：


FT_New_Face(ft_Lib，pathname, 0, &amp;face);
FT_Load_Char( face, chr, FT_LOAD_RENDER | FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING | FT_LOAD_MONOCHROME );
...

//Calling a function to switch face_index&nbsp;to 1
FT_Load_Char( face, chr, FT_LOAD_RENDER | FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING | FT_LOAD_MONOCHROME );
...



Does freetype2 have such a function, or do you plan to add it in the future?
