Thanks David for your quick answer.

I try to generate a bitmap to display a string, taking care of original string
charmap and available charmap in the .ttf
Mostly I succeed, in manage glyph bitmaps, anti-aliasing, bearing. But there is
a mystery I cannot explain about charmaps.
I have a class that can convert a string into and from
unicode,appleroman,win32,latin1,adobe. I took the char codes from unicode.org
and checked all on windows,macos9/X,linux before doing all this. I am quite
sure that my charset conversions are corrects.

compilation with cygwin worked all right by ftview.exe "could not allocate
display surface"
So I tryed to add all files into a msdev5 wni32 application project (including
graph) and set some compile and link options, but I had so many errors,
including macro undefined etc. that I gave up.

ftdump compiled with cygwin gave :
