#### Description [src]

Returns the native FreeType2 `FT_Face` structure used for this `PangoFont`.

This may be useful if you want to use FreeType2 functions directly.

Use `pango_fc_font_lock_face()` instead; when you are done with a face from `pango_fc_font_lock_face()`, you must call `pango_fc_font_unlock_face()`.

This function is not directly available to language bindings.

#### Parameters

  A `PangoFont`.

  The data is owned by the caller of the function.

#### Return value

A pointer to a `FT_Face` structure, with the size set correctly.
