The current driver ignores the encoding if it isn't exactly four
characters long. Otherwise, it'll raise an error if the underlying
library (FreeType) reports an error.
No idea why Lütgendorf comes out wrong; I'm using Unicode fonts in
deployed applications without any problems.
Feel free to mail me a short test snippet and a copy of the font, and
I'll take a look when I find the time.
