Hummmm... a common problem comes from the fact that "char" is signed 
with certain compilers, hence a call like:

 char*  p = string;

 gindex = FT_Get_Char_Index( face, *p );

will always set gindex to 0 for all non-ASCII characters (since they 
correspond to *p < 0)

is this the case ??

Hope this helps,
