FreeType2 selects a Unicode charmap as default charmap for a font if
available. Webdings.ttf does not have a Unicode charmap. Try to use
something like that:

if ( face->charmap == NULL )
{
   error = FT_Select_Charmap( face, ft_encoding_symbol );
   if ( !error )
   {
      /* Symbol encoding ranges from 0xf000 to 0xf0ff */
      /* This cant be mapped to Unicode IMHO */
      /* Maybe Windows maps this to 0x00 to 0xff ? */
      for (i = 0xf000; i <= 0xf0ff; i++)
      {
         error = FT_Load_Char(face, i, FT_LOAD_DEFAULT);
         if ( !error )
            /* print char */
      }
   }
}

Ciao, Detlef
