---True Type hinting mode.
---
---@alias love.HintingMode
---
---Default hinting. Should be preferred for typical antialiased fonts.
---
---| '"normal"'
---
---Results in fuzzier text but can sometimes preserve the original glyph shapes of the text better than normal hinting.
---
---| '"light"'
---
---Results in aliased / unsmoothed text with either full opacity or completely transparent pixels. Should be used when antialiasing is not desired for the font.
---
---| '"mono"'
---
---Disables hinting for the font. Results in fuzzier text.
---
---| '"none"'
