A #cairo_scaled_font_t is a font scaled to a particular size and device
resolution. A #cairo_scaled_font_t is most useful for low-level font
usage where a library or application wants to cache a reference
to a scaled font to speed up the computation of metrics.
There are various types of scaled fonts, depending on the
<firstterm>font backend</firstterm> they use. The type of a
scaled font can be queried using cairo.scaled_font.ScaledFont.getFontType.

Memory management of #cairo_scaled_font_t is done with cairo.scaled_font.ScaledFont.reference and cairo.scaled_font.ScaledFont.destroy.
