Using version 0.90 of this font, I see no problems with `ftview -e
unic'.  However, this font version's `post' table is buggy; it misses
all indices 0x7FFF into the glyph name string array, thus FreeType
displays `.notdef' instead of the correct glyph name for Unicode
characters >= U+27EFC.

Hmm.  All glyphs are displayed fine.  How did you compile FreeType?
For me it works with both `./configure --disable-shared; make' and
`make devel; make'.
