I’ve had the idea that if FT was bad at synthetize a Unicode charmap, it would 
be a good idea to use the native charmap (means, the one actually present in 
the font). So it was a matter of modifying setBestEncoding function. It was 
late & I was tired so it happened that I found the code of setBestEncoding 
over complicated & confusing. I went to rewrite it way simpler in order to 
fit in my little head :-) It worked, and at least fixed the issue (#7369). 
Now, I don’t know if it covers all needs, etc. Let see (not a diff since 
there’s nothing left of the actual function):
