RE: [Devel] FT_Get_Char_Index choosing the wrong glyph with Shift-JIS charmap?

[Frank Faubert]

Hello Werner,

Thank you very much for your assistance with this matter.  I have just
tried the current snapshot and I have the same problem.  I also tried
ftview from the current ft2demos snapshot and have the same problem.
Just to verify, I am running the following command:

ftview -e sjis -f 33115 12 font.ttf

Ftview displays 'first char code = "0x815b"' in the window.  The first
glyph that it displays is still 'P'.  However, when I use windows
character map to view the font the correct glyph is displayed at code
0x815b.

The font that I am using is a .ttf licensed from AGFA Monotype.  I tried
to reproduce this with msgothic.ttc copied from Windows XP but I get the
ftview error 'could not find/open any font file'.  I do not believe that
I have any other .ttf Japanese fonts to test this with.

Do you have any ideas how I can debug this further?  If you like I could
e-mail you (off the list) a copy of the font that I am using.

Thank you again for your assistance,
-Frank

Please try the current snapshot from both FreeType 2 and ft2demos.
I've just verified that

  ftview -e sjis <size> <font>

gives the right result in case the SJIS cmap is correct.  Perhaps it
helps if you compare your code with the one in ftview.c.
