No, I mean `FT_Set_Charmap'.  `FT_Select_Charmap' usually doesn't work
for PCF fonts since they don't contain standard mappings.

Your sample code doesn't extract the BDF properties from the PCF files
to derive the character mapping information, as mentioned in a
previous e-mail.  Please read carefully what I write!  I already
invest far too much time in answering your e-mails...

I don't have one.
