The commit in question makes the implementation on par with the documentation.

Wine indeed relies on undocumented behaviour – FreeType had a special case for WinFNT, which I've removed for consistency.

The fix in wine should be a one-liner.

The commit

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freetype/freetype2.git/commit/?id=79e3789f81e14266578e71196ce71ecf5381d142
(src/winfonts/winfnt.c (FNT_Face_Init): Don't set active encoding)

made certain Wine applications crash.

I guess Wine was (in)correctly (?) relying on 'charmap' to be set.

I can't determine (and haven't tried to determine) if it is Wine using the API incorrectly, FreeType making an application breaking change, or a FreeType regression.
