Whatever font it is, the images do *not* show `PMingLiU' from mingliu.ttc! This font can't be displayed with the autohinter because the glyph components need the bytecode interpreter to be positioned correctly. Please always use ftview, ftstring, or ftdiff to inspect the font. At the font size you are showing, mingliu.ttc contains embedded bitmaps to improve the rendering, BTW.
Can FreeType return glyph paths from mingliu and other fonts which need the bytecode interpreter for positioning? In my experiments, I've failed to get correct results, but that may be my error — I may not have supplied the correct combination of build parameters and flags. In my case, I'm only interested in the path, not bitmaps. Thanks for any info!
