This is correct behaviour.  You must select either a latin1 (tag
`lat1') or Unicode (tag `unic') charmap to get something meaningful.
Example:

  ftview -e unic 50 <font>

BTW, get_glyph_index() was called twice in ftview.c.  This is fixed
now.

Fixed.  Both ftstring and ftmulti have a new option -e to select an
encoding.  ftstring uses Unicode as the default map, ftmulti uses
none as the default.

Thanks for the report.
