--- Comment #5 from Akira TAGOH <akira at tagoh.org> ---
Has that font ever been rendered correctly?

I suppose the default behavior is expecting that the font is in Unicode. if
that font isn't, I'm not that surprised the rendering is wrong.

After some research, I see now FON-format version 3 has a field to determine
the charset. so given that that font contains any charset information, there
are two steps to render it properly.

1) implement FcFontDecode in fcfreetype.c for that
2) Use FcFreeTypeCharIndex() instead of FT_Get_Char_Index() in applications (in
this case in GIMP if not yet)

I'm not sure if it's worth doing. if appearing those fonts in the list is the
issue, blacklisting it may be easier perhaps.
