Code page mapping question...

[Pedriana, Paul]

FreeType (and for that matter TrueType) seems to prefer to 
work in Unicode. Even if it doesn't, my interface to FreeType 
is set to always work with Unicode. That is, it passes all 
characters to FreeType as Unicode. However, we still 
process text from various code pages (e.g. 932 (Japanese 
multibyte), 1251 (Cyrillic single byte)). As a result, I pretty 
much need functions to convert text in these code pages 
to Unicode. It seems that this is a common problem.

So I'm wondering if there's already example code for any 
of this. I suppose I could just make rather massive tables.
Is that what people usually do? It would be rather tedious
to generate these tables and some of them would be 
rather large.

Thanks,

Paul
