Unfortunately, this sentence is so incomplete that I can't guess what
you really want to say.

Today, you won't find many fonts which have a cmap for GB2312.
Virtually all fonts have a Unicode cmap.

The proper way to handle gb2312 is to convert all input data to
Unicode with a function like iconv before rendering with FreeType --
GNU libc has this already built it, and Bruno Haible's libiconv is a
stand-alone implementation of iconv which you can use as an
alternative.
