[ft] problem with "MS Sans Serif" font

[Dave Calkins]

I'm using FreeType 2.3.11 on Windows 7 with Visual C++ 2005.

I'm experiencing issues trying to use the "MS Sans Serif" font.  The 
file for this, on my system, is "C:\Windows\Fonts\SSERIFE.FON".

I'm using FreeTypeGL which in turn uses FreeType but provides rendering 
to OpenGL.  I originally suspected there might be a FreeTypeGL issue.  
However, I now am able to build and run the demos and I tried using 
ftview on this font file.

When I load this font in ftview, nothing shows up.  Just a white window 
where the glyphs would normally be rendered.  I've tried multiple sizes, 
but it doesn't render anything from the font.  I am able to use ftview 
to view other fonts without issue.

Any ideas?
