Re: [ft] Prevent synthesis of Unicode charmap?

FT_Get_CMap_Format will return -1 for synthetic cmaps in TrueType
fonts, but also return -1 for all non-TrueType cmaps

The synthetic cmap is added last, which makes the original cmap first.

This is a great solution. The synthetic cmap would not set those.
Disabling the synthetic unicode is actually a bad solution. You can
disable the psnames module but other applications would not like
that.
