 * FTCharmap takes care of specifying the encoding for a font and mapping
 * character codes to glyph indices.
 *
 * It doesn't preprocess all indices, only on an as needed basis. This may
 * seem like a performance penalty but it is quicker than using the 'raw'
 * freetype calls and will save significant amounts of memory when dealing
 * with unicode encoding
