You mean `quoteright', I think.

What's the `0x92'?

Mhmm, this font contains *two* cmap format 4 tables.  What you mean is
that you want to access the cmap for the PID/EID pair (3,1) -- this is
Microsoft Unicode.  It is *completely irrelevant* for FreeType which
format this table actually has -- more recent fonts will most probably
use format 12 probably to cover character codes outside of the BMP of
Unicode also.

Indeed, there is no glyph for character code 146.  What about using
0x2019 instead of 146?
