Actually they have 3 charmaps. The other two (one of them is Microsoft
Unicode) are buggy and got rejected by the validation tests in FT 2.1.x
(up to 2.1.2 at least). The problem is the same as the one discussed in
this email:

I think the test has since been relaxed in FT cvs to work around this
problem. I could be wrong though.

Pre-2.1 era FT code, which is what XF 4.2.0 ships, does not have this kind
of test.
