I totally missed the mark.
Now the question is whether this is appropriate for FreeType to deal
with UTF-8 filenames on Windows, which does not itself use UTF-8
filenames, which are, therefore, superfluous. The user should work
with native UTF-16LE filenames on Windows to begin with. Then the use
might as well open the stream with _wfopen by himself and call
FT_Open_Face for the stream. Done.
