   *   While FreeType's PCF driver doesn't expose API functions by itself,
   *   it is possible to control its behaviour with @FT_Property_Set and
   *   @FT_Property_Get.  Right now, there is a single property
   *   `no-long-family-names' available if FreeType is compiled with
   *   PCF_CONFIG_OPTION_LONG_FAMILY_NAMES.
   *
   *   The PCF driver's module name is `pcf'.

   *
   * @description:
   *   If PCF_CONFIG_OPTION_LONG_FAMILY_NAMES is active while compiling
   *   FreeType, the PCF driver constructs long family names.
   *
   *   There are many PCF fonts just called `Fixed' which look completely
   *   different, and which have nothing to do with each other.  When
   *   selecting `Fixed' in KDE or Gnome one gets results that appear rather
   *   random, the style changes often if one changes the size and one
   *   cannot select some fonts at all.  The improve this situation, the PCF
   *   module prepends the foundry name (plus a space) to the family name. 
   *   It also checks whether there are `wide' characters; all put together,
   *   family names like `Sony Fixed' or `Misc Fixed Wide' are constructed.
   *
   *   If `no-long-family-names' is set, this feature gets switched off.

   *     FT_Library  library;

   *                               &no_long_family_names );
   *   }
   *
   * @note:
   *   This property can be used with @FT_Property_Get also.
   *
   *   This property can be set via the `FREETYPE_PROPERTIES' environment
   *   variable (using values 1 and 0 for `on' and `off', respectively).
