Re: [ft] Rendering chinese characters

[suzuki toshiya]

In addition, if you're working on Unix like systems, please try "ftview" 
command.
It will show the glyphs in the font without consideration if they are 
accessible via some character code,
so it might be helpful to know if the font supports non-BMP characters.
