[ft] How to get a glyph index of Japanese charactor

[Hongyu Zhang]

Hello, every one:

 

I am a beginner of freeType2 library.
I have a problem about how to get a glyph index of Japanese charactor.

 

I use the function FT_Get_Char_Index to get a glyph index.
This function needs a parameter named charcode.
For a English charactor, its charcode is indeed the ASCII code (binary code),
but for a Japanese charactor, I don't know what the charcode should be?
I am using the default FT_ENCODING_UNICODE charmap which contains Japanese font.
When I set the charcode to be its binary code (eg. 0xE38193), glyph index 0 is returned.

 

There is anyone who can get the glyph index of the charactor in a Japanese text ?
please help me.

 

Thank you for your support.

 

 Regards
