OK, so when keeping the most important bits, here is basically what I do
- in other word, I don't select another Charmap, because I can't find an
iso 8859-1 one, just unicode...

        
FT_Library library;
FT_Face face;

if ((error = FT_Init_FreeType( &library )))
{
        *ierr=2;
        return(-1);
}
                
if ((error = FT_New_Face( library, font, 0, &face )))
{
        *ierr=3;
        return(-1);
} 

(...)

glyph_index = FT_Get_Char_Index(face, text[i]); 

failure |= FT_Load_Glyph(face, glyph_index, FT_LOAD_DEFAULT ); 
failure |= FT_Render_Glyph(face->glyph, ft_render_mode_normal ); 

(...)
