Well, I'd rather see it as the definition of a new enum like
"ft_encoding_win_symbol", and some code in 'src/sfnt' to detect the
0xF000 shift in the mapping..

Any other ideas ??

No other idea, but ft_encoding_win_symbol incl. 0xF000 shift,
and default loading of the ft_encoding_win_symbol charmap if the font file 
only contains this one, would be completely satisfy.
