So default Charmap will not be Unicode for a such fonts?

But your solution looks good ... (You are author of FreeType, so it should look good :-)

One question offtopic. I try to load fonts which I have in my Win2k font directory - ttf and ttc fonts working ok, but bitmap *.fon files are not recognized by FreeType. Should they work? Or doing something wrong?

(They don't interest me so much, but for clarity) (Also they have "MZ" header font exe file :-( people on M$ are crazy sometimes :-)
