Due to rotation problems you should later on upgrade to 2.1.3 as soon
as it is available.

This means your font has an SJIS cmap, good.

Hmm, I would say this is

  8DC5 8F89 82C9 897B 9797 82B3 82EA 82BD 8379 815B 8357

instead, since SJIS is is a mixed 1byte/2byte encodings (with 1byte
char codes in the range 0xA1-0xDF).  Simply use `0x8dc5', `0x8f89',
etc., as the input values for FT_Get_Char_Index!
