IMHO If you embed cff font in PDF it is CID CFF Font and it has not
charmap. You don't need call FT_GET_Char_Index at all, because CID =
Glyph index.

Subject: [Freetype] A question about cff font

Hi, 
    I want to display PDF text that uses embedded cff font. But I find a
very serious problem. I can't use FT_Get_Char_Index() function to
retrieve the correct glyph index for certain character code. Because the
m_ftFace->charmap is set to NULL. 
    I think it is a bug of FreeType. It should build one charmap for cff
font as other font types, like type1, truetype etc, or I can't use
FreeType to support embedded cff font! I hope it wiil be solved in next
version, thanks.
