I'm using the wingding.ttf copy that comes with Windows 7. It's indeed
version 5.00, copyright 2006, file size is 83740 bytes, MD5 sum is 
68c74934563bf4afa50793c67bd19b24.

Not here. It's definitely 3 here. But I have to say that I'm still on
freetype 2.5.4. Maybe something has changed?

Not here. face->charmap is correctly set to the Unicode charmap which
is the third charmap returned by freetype2 as shown above. But maybe
it has to do with the fact that I'm still on 2.5.4?
