Re: Getting victory hands symbol from Wingdings

[Andreas Falkenhahn]

In other words: I don't understand the point of FreeType creating a synthesized 
Unicode charmap that isn't usable at all. Why does it create such a Unicode 
charmap at all then? Or is this supposed to work correctly in newer versions 
and maybe just happens to be broken in 2.5.4?
