I'll incorporate your fix into a patch that I'm putting together.

[snip] The intention of the code is to unambiguously identify the available fonts, so I'm not very keen on your solution.

I've not come across a font before that didn't have one of the charsets out of charset_map. Would you mail me the font so that I can try to come up with an alternative solution?

Does this font ship as a Windows font with Reflection X or did you convert it to a Windows font?
