I don't have to an answer to why FT_New_Face is failing, but since FreeType is also open source, you can trace into it.
However, I will point out that you won't legally be able to bundle that font as part of your project/application.

Problem seems to be that the fond Arial Unicode MS cannot be found on your system. Did you check this?

The problem is that adobe viewers (among others) don't display the annotation properly because the stream isn't properly drawn It is invisible until selected, and then it becomes visible (searching through the pdf structure, i found that the Tj command in the annotations content stream has no value) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.
