[Devel] Finding which glyphs are available

[Scott Long]

First of all, thanks for FreeType. It's been tremendously useful to us.

I've been looking for a way to determine, given a character code,
whether the corresponding glyph is present in a face. For example, I
select the Unicode charmap, and wish to determine if the glyph
corresponding to character 'A' is present. I can try to load the glyph,
but this seems like a heavyweight operation, and all I really need to do
is find whether the character is present.

Is there a lightweight way to do this? I'm willing to try anything, even
if it requires poking at FreeType internal structures.

Thanks for any help,
Scott Long
