/**
 * @class FontFace
 * @brief Owns a single FT_Face loaded from a file path.
 *
 * A FontFace is the source from which GlyphAtlas instances at specific
 * pixel sizes are constructed.  One FontFace may serve any number of
 * atlases; the FT_Face handle is shared by reference and must not be
 * used concurrently from multiple threads without external locking.
 *
 * The face index parameter handles font collections (.ttc, .otc); pass
 * 0 for single-face files.
 *
 * FontFace does not call FT_Set_Pixel_Sizes -- that is GlyphAtlas's
 * responsibility immediately before each rasterization call, ensuring
 * the face is configured for the atlas's declared size.
