*
* @description:
* Compute the exact bounding box of an outline. This is slower than
* computing the control box. However, it uses an advanced algorithm
* that returns _very_ quickly when the two boxes coincide. Otherwise,
* the outline Bezier arcs are traversed to extract their extrema.
*
* @input:
* outline ::
* A pointer to the source outline.
*
* @output:
* abbox ::
* The outline's exact bounding box.
*
* @return:
* FreeType error code. 0~means success.
*
* @note:
* If the font is tricky and the glyph has been loaded with
* @FT_LOAD_NO_SCALE, the resulting BBox is meaningless. To get
* reasonable values for the BBox it is necessary to load the glyph at a
* large ppem value (so that the hinting instructions can properly shift
* and scale the subglyphs), then extracting the BBox, which can be
* eventually converted back to font units.
