Pango uses fontconfig and FreeType for one of it's backends; here's a brief
sample from that:
sans = FcPatternBuild (NULL,
FC_FAMILY, FcTypeString, "sans",
FC_SIZE, FcTypeDouble, (double)pango_font_description_!
NULL);
matched = FcFontMatch (0, sans, &result);
if (FcPatternGetString (matched, FC_FILE, 0, &filename2) != FcResultMatch)
goto bail1;
if (FcPatternGetInteger (matched, FC_INDEX, 0, &id) != FcResultMatch)
goto bail1;
error = FT_New_Face (_pango_ft2_font_map_get_library (ft2font->fontmap),
(char *) filename2, id, &ft2font->face);
FcPatternDestroy (sans);
FcPatternDestroy (matched);
You'll want to to use FcFreeTypeCharIndex to map Unicode to glyph ids;
that handles the vageries of various non-Unicode font mappings which are
often present in older TrueType and Type1 fonts.
