# Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
Subset preprocessing is a mechanism which can significantly speed up font subsetting operations.
|
||||
It works by prepopulating datastructures from the source font which can be used in later subsetting
|
||||
operations to more quickly produce the subset. Preprocessing is useful in cases where multiple subsets
|
||||
will be cut from the same source font.
|
||||
|
||||
# Usage
|
||||
|
||||
```c++
|
||||
hb_face_t* preprocessed = hb_subset_preprocess (source_face);
|
||||
|
||||
...
|
||||
|
||||
hb_face_t* subset = hb_subset_or_fail (preprocessed, subset_input);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
# Additional Details
|
||||
|
||||
* A subset produced from a preprocessed face should be identical to a subset produced from only the
|
||||
original face. The preprocessor does not change the functionality of the subsetter, just speeds
|
||||
things up.
|
||||
|
||||
* The preprocessing operation may take longer then the time it takes to produce a subset from the
|
||||
source font. Thus the main performance gains are made when a preprocessed face is reused for multiple
|
||||
subsetting operations.
|
||||
|
||||
* The preprocessed face may contain references to the memory backing the source face. If this memory
|
||||
is fully owned by a harfbuzz hb_blob_t* then it will automatically be kept alive for the lifetime
|
||||
of the preprocessed face. However, if this memory is not fully owned by a harfbuzz hb_blob_t* then
|
||||
it is necessary to ensure that the memory is kept alive for the lifetime of the preprocessed face.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
# Performance Improvements
|
||||
|
||||
Here is the performance difference of producing a subset with a preprocessed face vs producing
|
||||
a subset with the source face:
