First, you need to use at least version 1.3 for the Pascal version to work...

Then, the path is the following (it is the same with C or Pascal, BTW):
- you init the face
- you ask for the number of charmaps (TT_Get_CharMap_Count)
- for each charmap, you ask for the "magic numbers" (platform and
encoding), using TT_Get_CharMap_ID
- when you have identified the proper charmap you need, get it with
TT_Get_CharMap
- now you can use it with TT_Char_Index

Using the above process, search for a charmap with platform=3 and encoding=1.
As a fall-back, you can also try platform=0 with any encoding
Everything else is pretty sure to *not* be Unicode (and even these ones
may be very different from Unicode... ;-) )

Using the above steps, you are done: Use the Unicode charmap and
then TT_Char_Index(the_charmap, 0x41);
