What do you mean exactly ? In recent FreeType versions, Type 1 fonts report
charmaps with a platform id of TT_PLATFORM_ADOBE, and an encoding id of
TT_ADOBE_ID_STANDARD, TT_ADOBE_ID_EXPORT or TT_ADOBE_ID_CUSTOM. Additionnaly,
a Unicode charmap is automatically synthetized from the glyph names dictionary,
which is accessible directly with the function FT_Get_Glyph_Name.

Hope this helps,
