You mean `wingding.ttf`, right?  My comments below refer to version
5.00 that comes with Windows 10 (testing with current git version of
FreeType).

Really?  If I open the font with FreeType, `face->num_charmaps` has
value 2...

Well, if you load the font you can see that `face->charmap` is 0x0,
which means that there is no active charmap – because FreeType can't
synthesize a Unicode cmap.
