I followed this instruction.

Build configuration:

Unicode callbacks (you want at least one):

Glib: true
ICU: false
UCDN: false

Font callbacks (the more the better):

FreeType: true

Tools used for command-line utilities:

Cairo: false

Additional shapers (the more the better):

Graphite2: false

Platform shapers (not normally needed):

CoreText: false
Uniscribe: false

Other features:

Documentation: false
GObject bindings: false
Introspection: false

after make, I tried to run src/test:

./src/test /Library/Fonts/Verdana.ttf
Opened font file /Library/Fonts/Verdana.ttf: 186188 bytes long
cluster 0 glyph 0x0 at (0,0)+(2048,0)
cluster 0 glyph 0x0 at (0,0)+(2048,0)
cluster 6 glyph 0x0 at (0,0)+(2048,0)
cluster 6 glyph 0x0 at (0,0)+(2048,0)
cluster 12 glyph 0x0 at (0,0)+(2048,0)

Am I missing something or why are the glyphs always 0?
