Nearly, yes, but you've forgotten to set the character size with
FT_Set_Char_Size().  The documentation has been fixed meanwhile (in
2.0.2); you must always call this function.

1090 is 0x442.  Looking into internal/tterrors.h you'll find 

  #define TT_Err_Invalid_PPem               0x442

It is a a bad feature of FreeType that you have to look into the
internal subdirectory; this will be fixed eventually.
