Bug description: GD and unicode maps/webdings
Hello,
I want to output the webdings.ttf font using freetype and gd.
Unfortunately I only get rectangular symbols back.
I discusse the issue inside the freetype mailing list and they told me
that
"FreeType2 selects a Unicode charmap as default charmap for a font if
available. Webdings.ttf does not have a Unicode charmap."
They thought that it could be a bug in gd and supplied a patch for gdlib.

for (n = 0; n < a->face->num_charmaps; n++)
{
charmap = a->face->charmaps[n];
platform = charmap->platform_id;
encoding = charmap->encoding_id;
if ((platform == 3 && encoding == 1) /* Windows Unicode */
|| (platform == 3 && encoding == 0) /* Windows Symbol */
|| (platform == 2 && encoding == 1) /* ISO Unicode */
|| (platform == 0))
{ /* Apple Unicode */
a->have_char_map_unicode = 1;
found = charmap;

So it would work if GD would not forget to tell FreeType2 to use the
charmap it found... :

I applied it, but it still doesn't seem to work.
I'm sure that the right gd is linked (ldd).
I've seen examples with Zapf Dingbats and Webdings work with other
languages, so I think it may be also a php issue.
Maybe you could point me on a solution.
Thanks in advance
